Margaret Atwood

I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it.

Heroes need monsters to establish their heroic credentials. You need something scary to overcome.

We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.

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.

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