Of course I wanted children. Bright, gorgeous, loving children. I could almost see them.

All I ever wanted to do is to write stories that people will enjoy and feel at home with.

Never mind money; the gifts of time and skill call into being the richest marketplace in the world.

The great thing about getting older is that you become more mellow. Things aren't as black and white, and you become much more tolerant. You can see the good in things much more easily rather than getting enraged as you used to do when you were young.

I have great family and good friends; the stories I told became popular, and people all over the world bought them.

In my stories, whenever there's somebody wonderful and charming and bright and intelligent, that's me!

I do try to live every day as if it were my last, and it has worked for me so far.
