I love thinking of movie stars who could play the characters in the books I write.

I wanna create a character that's really memorable... like Julia Roberts did in 'Pretty Woman.'

I'm looking forward to becoming a marvelous - excuse the word marvelous - character actress. like Marie Dressler, like Will Rogers.

I can speak of actors that I love. I love Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis, her tenacity. I love Charlize Theron. She's so surprising and so exhilarating, the kinds of projects she takes on. Marion Cotillard as well.

Doing a movie of one of the Raksura books would involve a lot of CGI, but I have thought about who I'd like to play the characters. Some of them I just can't pin down to a specific actor, and I keep revising my mental list.

You have actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who have roles specially written for them.

I thought Charlize Theron was awesome in 'Mad Max,' and that was a very masculine kind of hero.

I think Kellie Martin, Reese Witherspoon and Claire Danes represent the future for women in film, and I would be honored to share the stage with any one of them.

I would love to work with Julia Roberts at some point.

People sometimes ask who I would cast in my books and I never have any idea. I don't think I could ever write a book thinking of it as a movie the whole time. This would be like building a house and filling it with furniture just so you could have blueprints.
