“I was in a pharmacy and I saw the warnings on the backs of poisonous substances, and I thought, "Well, that's what I can do."

“With the publishing of The Basic Eight, it was often assumed that I was really immature and callow, and with the publishing of Watch Your Mouth, it was assumed that I was oversexualized, and with Lemony Snicket, it's often assumed that I'm erudite and depressed.
