In some ways I'm very structured.

It would look like a notebook with dividers, and there'd be different subjects and things [preschoolers] could do, so that they could feel like they were going to school also.

I'm structured with time.

By the time I finished the book [All Alone in the Universe], Robin Roy was saying, "More pictures!"

I started thinking about [ what book is going to go next] when I was working on As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth.

I felt ten years old and a thousand years old, but I didn't know how to be my own age. I had never felt that way before, but now I feel like that a lot.

I know I'm still young and there's a lot of time for things to happen, but sometimes I think there is something about me that's wrong, that I'm not the kind of person anyone can fall in love with, and that I'll always just be alone.
