NOTABLE QUOTES:

(9:35) "Growing up, my mom made sure that we always had nutritious dinners and lunches, and so I am still very much… I still very much do that for myself."

(10:44) "I recently started (very recently started) working from home, and I didn't realize how much being at a workplace and being surrounded by people makes me happy until I started working by myself and in this home."

(13:16) "Generally, when I think about writing for kids, I think about what I wanted to hear when I was a kid and what I may not have heard, what was missing."

(15:44) "I come up with song ideas based off of the children around me and my experience as a child. I still feel like that child inside of me. I really connect to her in so many ways."

(18:56) "I wanted to make it, like, this authentic world, like the world I see around me, cuz I grew up in urban neighborhoods. I'm from Chicago. I live just outside the city now, but I wanted to illustrate the people that I see every day, like the people I see at the grocery store, at the park, or at the laundromat, because there are so many different types of people around us."

(25:48) "Whatever you can imagine for yourself in your life, you can make it happen. Your imagination is so powerful that something that exists in your mind only can be output into the world as a very real and tangible thing. So go and dream big."

(26:17) "Don't feel like you have to be like everyone else. It's okay to be different. And we have to be kind to each other and respect what makes us all unique."
