We all have a hungry heart, and one of the things we hunger for is happiness. So as much as I possibly could, I stayed where I was happy. I spent a great deal of time in my younger years just writing and reading, walking around the woods in Ohio, where I grew up.

I was very careful never to take an interesting job. If you have an interesting job, you get interested in it.

To find a new word that is accurate and different, you have to be alert for it.

You must not ever stop being whimsical.

Also I wanted to be able to love And we all know how that one goes, don't we? Slowly

When it's over I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

We all have a hungry heart, and one of the things we hunger for is happiness.
