If I didn't write my soul would dry up and die.
From Isabel Allende
My writing comes not from the happy moments, but from struggle and grief.
The media could do a much better job, that's for sure, especially the media that targets women... Human rights? They couldn't care less!
Women have always been courageous... They are always fearless when protecting their children and in the last century they have been fearless in the fight for their rights.
I like Hillary Clinton a lot. I know her.
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
I am an American citizen and it is my home now. I like the U.S.A., which is not a place too many people have liked since Bush. The U.S. has a young population, and everything can change within a year.
I like historical fiction. I fell in love with New Orleans the first time I visited it. And I wanted to place a story in New Orleans.
I'm interested in people who have to overcome obstacles, people who are not sheltered by the umbrella of the establishment, marginals.
