We all want to be renewed, don't we?

I have a little tiny Emily Dickinson so big that I carry in my pocket everywhere. And you just read three poems of Emily. She is so brave. She is so strong. She is such a sexy, passionate, little woman. I feel better.

Make it dangerous or it's not worth doing.

I do not remember any proper children's books in my childhood. I was not exposed to them.

Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar.

I never set out to write books for children. I don't have a feeling that I'm gonna save children or my life is devoted.

There must be more to life than having everything.
