Alice Hoffman

Sometimes movies really are the best medicine.

The adults don't know what's happening on the kids' universe and the kids don't know what's happening on the adults' universe.

They were written on cheap blue notebooks bought by poor women. I'm interested in folk tales in the way that medicine and magic in women's stories are all kind of combined.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
