I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible.

We have an obligation to make things beautiful. Not to leave the world uglier than we found it, not to empty the oceans, not to leave our problems for the next generation.

I think that is something that I always like in my work - the sense of inclusion rather than the sense of otherness.

I liked myths. They weren't adult stories and they weren't children's stories. They were better than that. They just were.

Everything that is,casts a shadow

Diana used to tell me she had a travel jinx, something I only really started to believe when the plane door fell off.

It felt like a small forever.
