Open your heart. Someone will come. Someone will come for you. But first you must open your heart. (Old Doll)

It's hard not to immediately fall in love witha dog who has a good sense of humor.

I think Tony Fucile, who did the illustrations [for Bink & Gollie], is an absolute genius. I've never met him.

I always go to the Agriculture Building, where they make apple cider popsicles for a dollar.

It's a book [Bink & Gollie] about shortness and tallness, so I think it's appropriate to discuss the virtues of shortness.

While we were working, we were writing about a tall girl and a short girl, which we thought was funny, because Alison's [McGhee] tall and I'm short.

I am really an introvert, and I need that time alone for a variety of reasons.
