Judy Blume

Life goes on if you're one of the lucky ones.

I am very sentimental, very emotional, but never in my writing; I am very tough.

I don't think people change; electronics change, the things we have change, but the way we live doesn't change.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

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.
