I wondered if the person who really loves you is the person who knows all your stories, the person who WANTS to know all your stories.

I do believe that food lobbies exert enormous, at times insidious, power over what we eat, that our water supplies are not being protected as much as they probably should be and that, in general, people are more interested in smart phones than museums.

But I believe good things happen everyday. I believe good things happen even when bad things happen. And I believe on a happy day like today, we can still feel a little sad. And that's life, isn't it?

The things we respond to at twenty are not necessarily the same things we will respond to at forty and vice versa. This is true in books and also in life

It's sad when you think about it, but also kind of beautiful.

I don't believe in writer's block.

When I was around eight, I learned how to touch-type at school, and I received a computer as a present. I started writing plays, and for many years I thought I would be a playwright.
