Why Did The Wise Guys Always Accuse

You Seldom Get A Censorship Attempt From A 14-year-old Boy. It's The Adults Who Get Upset.

I Find That Most Books That I Don't Like Are Those In Which The Authors Have Indulged Themselves. I Can Almost Sense When They're Writing Something For Themselves.

You Hope That People Read Your Book And Say "yes, This Is The Way It Is Or Could Be." But Then You Have No Way Of Knowing Until The Reader Reads The Book. Actually, The Critical Response Doesn't Worry Me. I've Had Very Few Reviews That Have Upset Me.

I Have Always Had A Sense That We Are All Pretty Much Alone In Life, Particularly In Adolescence.

I'm Always Telling Myself As I Write That I'm Not Really Writing A Novel; I'm Just Going To Fool Around With A Character Or An Idea.
