I actually do like traveling.

It is a bad thing to have love and nowhere to put it.

Magic is always impossible.... It begins with the impossible and ends with the impossible and is impossible in between. That is why it's magic.

I am single and childless, but I have lots of friends and I am an aunt to three lovely children.

I'm continually astonished with myself how different people bring out things in me that I never knew I had inside me. Each new friendship can make you a new person, because it opens up new doors inside of you.

Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.

A friend of mine said Winn-Dixie is the way that people want the world to be and Tiger Rising is the way that it is.
