Don't fear death, fear the un-lived life

Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live.

I have a wonderful husband, and we have had a great life.

I was born and raised in Ohio. During my childhood, I spent most of my time drawing and reading fairy tales and myths.

The only thing I would want to say is that storytelling is ancient; it's something that everybody does. Kids mustn't be in awe of it. Reading should be a joy - fun, fun, fun - not a responsibility, not something you do because society demands it, but something you do because it's a pleasure.

People got to do something useful if they're going to take up space in the world.

Like all magnificent things, it's very simple.
