“I was never a great reader, but there were two stories I loved best: Kipling's 'The Elephant's Child' and 'The Jungle Book.' Deep down, I've always wanted to write a book about a wild child and an elephant.”

“Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians, teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children's right and it is also our best hope and their best hope for the future.”

“I think it's healthy to gain a perspective on who you are deep down, question yourself, and challenge yourself; it's important to do that.”

“Deep down inside, I am lazy.”

“Deep down, I want to be a big rapper. I want people to love what I'm doing.”
