Q: That’s pretty young. It might seem like you’re older to you.

A: (Laughs) It’s just a matter of being able to take that time, I think, to figure out the person I want to be and the artist I want to continue becoming. I didn’t want to just go with, “OK, I’m just gonna listen to whatever these people say because they know how to make me successful and rich and famous.” As appealing as that might sound, that just don’t appeal to me.

I saw the book (“The Land of Stories”) described as “Shrek” meets “Chronicles of Narnia,” would you say that’s accurate?
Yeah, that’s a very good description. I would actually add “Wizard of Oz” in the mix too. It’s out August 7th, 2012. I’m so impatient, I can’t wait. I’m almost like “why is it taking so long, why is it taking a year?!” But there’s a lot that goes into making a book.
