Do you have a dog?

Like I said, so many of my ideas come from things that are going on in my life. And a lot of the times when I go out and talk to kids at schools, they’re really curious about who you are and where you live and, “Do you have a dog?” “Do you have a cat?” They’re very curious – they want to know that you’re a person and they want to know who you are.

Whenever I do a presentation to kids, I always bring slides along showing the house; showing the dog; showing the cat; showing the husband; showing, you know, where I live, how I do a book. I go through that, because that’s what they’re really curious about. They want to know who you are.
