...the more risks you allow children to take, the better they learn to take care of themselves. If you never let them take any risks, then I believe they become very prone to injury. Boys should be allowed to climb tall trees and walk along the tops of high walls and dive into the sea from high rocks... The same with girls. I like the type of child who takes risks. Better by far than the one who never does so.

I think I have this thing where everybody has to think I'm the greatest.And if they aren't completely knocked out and dazzled and slightly intimidated by me, I don't feel good about myself.

When I first thought about writing the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I never originally meant to have children in it at all!

The Alexander Technique works... I recommend it enthusiastically to anyone who has neck pains or back pain.
