I guess I see a part of myself in everyone I write about. I tend to write about kids who are obsessed with something, and even though I have never been good with machines the way Hugo is, I did love miniature things when I was a kid.

  • -- Brian Selznick 布赖恩·塞尔兹尼克

我想我在我所写的每一个人身上都看到了我自己的一部分。我倾向于写那些痴迷于某样东西的孩子,尽管我从来没有像雨果那样擅长使用机器,但当我还是个孩子的时候,我确实喜欢微型的东西。
