Well it's all right to cry. It helps a great deal sometimes.

When I start to write, I see my stories as a kind of movie. For instance, I ask myself, "What kind of opening do I want for this book?"

I Google'd myself a lot of times believe me. A lot of people know more about me than I knew.

Of course, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

I don't think I have the image that say, Judy Garland has, or Bette Davis.

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

I think I'm one of the very lucky ladies.
