Tony Ross quotes about
We respect our employees rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining and we respect all the rules and regulations in all the jurisdictions that we operate.
How long a book tends to illustrate depends on the book. 'The Awful Aunty' took me 10 days.
You have to go into rehab after doing a David Walliams book. David is such an important man; publishers rate him very, very highly, His books usually go straight to the bestseller number one spot on the day of publication. He is a hugely important writer as far as HarperCollins, his publishers, are concerned.
I don't relax. My main relaxation is meeting illustrators and publishers in restaurants and bars.
