"What’s been your greatest knitting triumph?"
"One time I almost finished knitting a sweater, then I realized it didn’t fit, so I unknitted it. And then I knitted it all over again."

"I kept getting in trouble at school, and my dad told me he was going to give up on me. But then he changed his mind and said that he was never going to give up on me."
"What made him change his mind?"
"I don’t know. He just said it, went in his room, closed the door, then came out two minutes later and took it back."

Thanks to everyone who sent in pics of little humans with Little Humans. This one gave me the biggest smile…

"I pretty much love every video game.""What’s something...
"I pretty much love every video game."
"What’s something you’ve learned from video games that you can apply to real life?"
"Never trust the bad guy."
"How do you know if it’s a bad guy?"
"Because he’ll ask you to get in his car."

"I never know how she learns things. I made her a sandwich, and she told me: ‘I don’t want to eat.’ I said, ‘Well, you need to eat.’ Then she said: ‘If I eat, can I can play later?’ And I thought: ‘Did she just bargain with me? How did she learn how to bargain?”"

"If I’m ever arguing with her mom, I just look down and remind myself that this beautiful woman gave me this beautiful child. And this child doesn’t care who’s right or who’s wrong, all she cares about is that mommy and daddy are there."

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"A police officer."
"What’s the best part about being a police officer?"
"Figuring out who made the mistakes."
"What’s the toughest part of being a police officer?"
"Figuring out which key unlocks the jail."

"This spot in the park reminds me a bit of Massachusetts, so I come here when I’m feeling homesick."
"What brought you to New York?"
"I’m not sure. I’m an artist, and I thought it would be good to create a situation where I feel out of place and slightly fearful. I feel like you can only draw inspiration from circumstances. Inspiration isn’t really something that you can sit around and extract from your psyche."

"I’ve had this calendar for three years. I use it for writing assignments and keeping my schedule, but also just to jot down my thoughts and do drawings."
"What’s…. (opens to random page) …. this page?"
"That was about a year and a half ago. It’s in two different colors, so I guess it’s from two different days. But it’s about the same boy."
“‘The person behind the name doesn’t exist’… what does that mean?”
"I wrote that one night when I was just sitting in front of my Gmail and Facebook, looking at the name of a boy I liked on the screen, seeing his profile, and somehow feeling like I was connected to him. The screen almost felt like I was connecting to a real person, but he wasn’t even there. It was just a name on a screen."
“‘Silence is cruel’… what does that mean?”
"It means I never got the courage to tell him about my feelings."
