Almost everything in 'A Day With Wilbur Robinson' has some basis in truth. And yes, my sister did pay me to feed her grapes while she talked to her boyfriend on the phone.

The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.

And I was lucky enough to have teachers that really, really looked out for me and really encouraged all that. And in rural Louisiana, that was a rare thing back then.

So if you're a robot and you're living on this planet, you can do things that you can't do in real life - things that you wished you could do: like fly; like have a car that flies; like have furniture that is alive.

I've always liked getting away with just a little bit of what you're not supposed to. Like my first book, Billy's Booger, got me in trouble with the principal's office.

I raised frogs every spring in our house from tadpoles and by end of summer our house was overrun with frogs.

The first book I ever wrote was in fourth grade and it was called 'Billy's Booger.' It was an autobiographical piece about a kid who was really bad at math.

You know, I hate to give advice because my life has been so odd that almost nothing that's happened to me can apply.

I have known lots of adults who enjoyed similar enthusiasms as a kid and weren't encouraged and then didn't go anywhere with it and so they're unhappy in their jobs as adults.

I did not win and in fact I was called into the principal's office for a consultation with my parents. But that was the beginning of my literary career.

I just took the idea that King Kong was too big for everything and reversed it and put George in a land of giants, which is basically what every kid goes through anyway - that, you know, the world is made for grownups, for tall people, for the giants.

But if you really love to write and you really love to tell stories and you really love to draw, you just have to keep doing it no matter what anybody says.

And they're also very good at math, these super boogers, and so they teach Billy the ways of mathematics.

Their toys are alive and can sometimes come to their aid, or get lost and Olie has to find them. They go to other planets. They go to the ice cream planet.

If you really want to tell stories, do it and don't be dissuaded.

I like stirring things up. I'm on the side of the kids more than I am on the adults. And occasionally I find some adults that have that same mischievous streak, so I don't get in too much trouble.

It was a smile of total reassurance and gave all who saw it a feeling of intense well-being. Not joy, but something akin to a sleepy peace. A sort of not-a-worry-in-the-world sensation.

I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

I'm working on just finding a boyfriend right now.

As a little kid I had a girlfriend, and her boyfriend used to beat me up, so then I used to sing these songs, and that's what it's all about. Country music is all about your heart and your people and things like that.

I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera, which I bought for his birthday.

The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

I think if I could have a boyfriend like my brothers I'd be really happy. But without the brother thing.

My marriage is on the rocks again, yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.

Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain.

I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.

The guys in my band are great-we watch movies, we eat pizza, take walks, read books. Everybody has a really great sense of humor. And my boyfriend comes and visits me on the road.

The reality is, Jennifer and I can do our job well because we truly are friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boyfriend and I go home to a magazine.

A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend - and he's a priest.

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.

I think there's something incredibly sexy about a woman wearing her boyfriend's T-shirt and underwear.

I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I love being with my family, my friends, and my boyfriend.

Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.

Otherwise, I spend a lot of time at my boyfriend's home in the country, in New Jersey.

Every time we had a raid, I'd get a boyfriend out of it.

I felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend.

He might be my boyfriend. He might not be my boyfriend.

My boyfriend calls me 'princess', but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'.

My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don't have sex - ever. Now that the milk is free, we've both become lactose intolerant.

You could be going to have supper with someone who happens to be male, and all of a sudden he is your boyfriend of nine months... and I am cheating on my existing boyfriend.

I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating.

My boyfriend thinks I lost my true calling to be a librarian.

I get a lot of mail from men who really identify with Stuart, you know, Sparrow's boyfriend. I love that. Even though I used to say I wanted men to read the strip even though there weren't any men in it, so they'd be forced to identify with the women.

Almost everything in 'A Day With Wilbur Robinson' has some basis in truth. And yes, my sister did pay me to feed her grapes while she talked to her boyfriend on the phone.

You know, I have guys that are almost stalkers... it is very strange. I had this one guy that e-mailed me off my site, and thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend. He then came to my house in London, I do not know how he found it.
