When I make a book, I make it for the child and not for the parent - no jokes in it for the parents!

I want a nice picture book with 12 pictures - I do my best with that format.

Each book first begins with a little idea.

Now, I had been drawing all this time - especially in France of course - so, when I came back, my father gave me the chance to do a cover for one of the books he published.

I did about 2000 covers altogether, for all sorts of books - from Shakespeare to James Bond - and I always had the idea that I must give 100%, no matter who the author was.

I have been drawing all my life.

I come from a family of business people, but I had the idea I wanted to become an artist.

I thought it would be very nice to become Picasso or Rembrandt, or a van Gogh.

But we discovered that, although I liked publishing, the commercial side meant nothing at all to me.

I thought it was amazing to work with authors, to get a manuscript and try to make up a cover for it.

My father realised that for me to become a publisher in his firm would have been the end of the firm!

Nobody is a cure.

The burden is in knowing.

Understand well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand.

Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.

Does it make any sense at all that the chair of a national party would want fewer voters to see our candidates?

I was never trying, necessarily, to be an outlaw. It was just the place in which I found myself.

Their love was a bright flower, youthful and radiantly beautiful.

When you do enough research, the story almost writes itself. Lines of development spring loose and you'll have choices galore.

President Obama will not be able to contain himself, and he will go after Mr. Trump every single chance he gets once Obama is out of office.
