I think from an early age I was aware of how a camera can tell a story, how a movie camera can affect how the narrative is told. Brian Selznick affectageaware Change image and share on social
I definitely think my work comes from things that I liked as a kid, and things I still like now. Monsters and magic and museums and movies, a lot of things that start with 'M' for some reason. Brian Selznick kidlotmagic Change image and share on social
I majored in illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design, although I never had any intention of being an illustrator and didn't take any classes in illustration there. It was just that the illustration degree had no requirements. Brian Selznick classdegreedesign share on social
I think everything belongs in a certain place, for kids who feel they don't belong anywhere. A museum is an institution like a library where everything has a place, everything belongs. Brian Selznick belongfeelinstitution Change image and share on social
I love illustrating for other writers because I am given stories I never would have thought of, and my work as an illustrator is always in support of the story. Brian Selznick illustrateillustratorlove Change image and share on social

I guess I see a part of myself in everyone I write about. I tend to write about kids who are obsessed with something, and even though I have never been good with machines the way Hugo is, I did love miniature things when I was a kid. Brian Selznick goodguesshugo share on social

I think the most important thing you can do is to keep drawing no matter what. And to not be afraid of drawing whatever interests you. If there is something that you want to draw, to make, then I think you should pursue it and not let anybody tell you that you can't do it. Brian Selznick afraiddrawimportant share on social
