Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.

I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me.

You name the demonstration; I was at it.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

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

Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.
