I still retain a bit of a child's focus on things, so we [with my sister] figure if we're going to write books, our best shot is to write children's books, because we relate pretty readily on that level.

We have a society that's trying to make sure that nobody gets any adventures because adventures are dangerous and danger is bad.

More fun than a frog in a glass of milk.

I think if people value democracy, they had damn well better get out and exercise their right to vote while their vote still means something.

We're just inviting adventure into our life, and adventure carries a little baggage.

Certain kinds of people just can't live life taking risks with adventure.

The pervasive attitude is that it's crazy to invite more danger into your life.
