Make it dangerous or it's not worth doing.

I mean, being a child was being a child, was being a creature without power, without pocket money, without escape routes of any kind. So I didn't want to be a child.

I stress character, character, character.

The day after Paul Newman was dead, he was twice as dead.

I wanted my wild things to be frightening.

There's a mystery there, a clue, a nut, a bolt, and if I put it together, I find me.

I would infinitely prefer a daughter.
