All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.

You never feel lonely if you're writing, because you're living with all these characters in your head.

All I care about really is writing something worthwhile for children, something that will engage them in some way and stimulates in them a sense of wonder.

My books have three W's on them, which are "words," "wisdom," and "wonder." Words inevitably lead to wisdom, and wisdom inevitably leads to wonder and awe at this phenomenal world around us.

Hopefully, I brought people a certain joy. That will be a wonderful legacy.
