Janaya
Janaya asked Jeff Kinney:

When did you realize you wanted to be an author?

Jeff Kinney I never knew I wanted to be an author until I finished the first draft of my book! I had always wanted to be a cartoonist!

Téa
Téa asked Jeff Kinney:

I already asked you a question but another just popped into my head. I'm not going to name names but it seems that since your break out of fame with this series and the movies other authors have written stories of a similar format (diary entries full of doodles) but with their own original characters. Aren't you flattered? I think it's super cool.
