There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen.

Bumble-Ardy is a very wicked little child as far as I'm concerned. He's not to be trusted.

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'm scared of watching a TV show about vampires. I can't fall asleep.

There's something in this country that is so opposed to understanding the complexity of children.

I hate, loathe and despise schools.School is bad for you if you have any talent. You should be cultivating that talent in your own particular way.

God, I had great people in my life.
