Happiness is a talent like any other. It's another art form. Some people are good at it, some people aren't.

Our lives are our mythic journeys, and our happy endings are still to be won.

We’re all misfits herefrom our weirdnesses and our differences, from our manic fixations, our obsessions, our passions. From all those wild and wacky things that make each of us unique.

When I was younger, I was in love with everything about the British Isles, from British folklore to Celtic music. That was always where my passions were as a young girl, and so I studied folklore as a college student in England and Ireland.

The fairy tale journey may look like an outward trek across plains and mountains, through castles and forests, but the actual movement is inward, into the lands of the soul.

I divide my time between homes in Arizona and England, six months a year in each place.

There's that old adage about how there's only seven plots in the world and Shakespeare's done them all before.
