I Never Paid Attention When People Said,

I Hope I'm Not Just Looked As A Writer That Is Popular But As A Writer Of Literary Value.

As An Artist, I Have To Be The Ambassador Of Everything.

I Think There's A Rule That Once You Want To Live Somewhere, You Can't Find A Job.

I Am Not In Touch With Other Writers. I Don't Have Very Much Contact With Other Writers. I Don't Get Invited To These Things Or I Don't Go To Them. I Hate Panels. I Speak To Librarians And To Conferences Of English Teachers. That's What I Do: Teachers And Librarians. And High School Kids.

Some People Need Flowers, Some People Need Dandelions. It's Medicine, It's What You Need At That Time In Your Life.
