I am a liberated woman. And I do believe if a woman does equal work she should be paid equal money. But personally I am feminine and I do like male authority to lean on.

In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and - SNAP - the job's a game!

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 was named after my two grandmothers - Julia Elizabeth.

I'm not singing anymore; that is why I am so pleased to be writing. My daughter said, "You just found a different way of using your voice."

Be a part of all that is decent and be an ambassador for the kind of world that you want to live in.

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