Writing books is the closest men ever come to childbearing.

The happiest lot for a man, as far as birth is concerned, is that it should be such as to give him but little occasion to think much about it.

A woman can tell me about her having a baby, but I'll never know what it is to have a baby.

Being pregnant is the most natural thing our bodies can do. Our grandparents did it without all these books, and they came out okay.

Completing a book, it's a little like having a baby.

I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.

I consider the process of gestation just as important as when you're actually sitting down putting words to the paper.

If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.

Most every book I bring into the world is like birthing a baby; it's a lot of effort!

I am not the first person to give birth naturally. Billions of other women have come before me and have done this - so why can't I do it?
