I am lucky to be what I am! Thank goodness I'm not just a clam, or a ham, or a dusty jar of sour gooseberry jam! I am what I am - that's a great thing to be!

I am weird, you are weird. Everyone in this world is weird. One day two people come together in mutual weirdness and fall in love.

The problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it's a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.

I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.

Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.

Don't live to please everyone. Embrace those who enjoy your company and to hell with the haters.

From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.
