Dick Bruna

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

I have been drawing all my life.

But I don't sit down and think: this is meant for children.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

Jokes are very curious things psychologically.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
