Once I have the story in my head, I write it down. The illustrations usually come last.

I think every character I've ever come up with has been based on someone or something I've known.

I write a lot in my head. I've never been driven to write things down.

I think my funny books are my favorites because I like to laugh so much.

Being an author is fun. It's a great job, because I can stay up as late as I want, and if I feel like taking the day off, I do it. Plus, I get to make up silly stories and draw pictures all day.

I want the last cheque I write to bounce.
