Mothers and children are human beings, and they will sometimes do the wrong thing.

The distinctions of fine art bore me to death.

Childhood is a tricky business. Usually, something goes wrong.

I'm totally crazy, I know that.

You cannot write for children They're much too complicated. You can only write books that are of interest to them.

I'm sick of 'Wild Things.'

Grown-ups are afraid for children. It's not children who are afraid.

There's so much more to a book than just the reading.

I've always loved pigs: the shape of them, the look of them, and the fact that they are so intelligent.

Kids don't know about best sellers. They go for what they enjoy. They aren't star chasers and they don't suck up. It's why I like them.
