Jean Craighead George

I have discovered I cannot dream up characters as incredible as the ones I meet in the wilderness.

I met senators, diplomats and the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Children are still in love with the wonders of nature, and I am, too. So I write them stories in hopes that they will want to protect all the beautiful creatures and places.

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

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
