If all you leave in the library is books that you think speak to everyone, what are you going to have? You'd have nothing.

I do believe that people who write for children are deeply connected to their own childhood.

There's no book or play or series or anything that speaks to everyone, because then it wouldn't speak to anyone.

I have like two dreams a week that I have to write a paper that I'm late with or that I've gone back to high school and have to do that in addition to my current job.

hi I hope u want to be my friends

Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.

I didn't know anything about writers. It never occurred to me they were regular people and that I could grow up to become one, even though I loved to make up stories inside my head.
