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.

I love turning my daughter on to old movies.

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.

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.
