I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.

Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.

Believe in yourself and you can achieve greatness in your life.

What's the point of thinking about how it's going to end when it's just the beginning?

I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.

I want you to know it was no big deal...those movies showing women screaming in labor are plain bullshit....there's nothing to it...you just push and push and finally the baby pops out...to tell you the truth I don't even rember that much about it except there was a very nice guy standing over me and every time a strong contraction started he gave me a whiff of gas.

I was shy, but I stood up in front of the class and I gave my report.I was reporting on books that I didn't want to read. I was inventing books that I didn't want to read.
