I'm very bad at having heroes. I don't rate anyone particularly highly because I'm so snide and competitive and not very nice.

Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.

I don't choose my villains and heroes for political reasons.

I admire many people, but I am not sure that I have any 'heroes.'

A lot of my characters are anti-heroes that became heroes.

I like heroes, and would like to be a hero myself. I suppose we all want that.

On the day my daughter was born, I started writing a book for her. The plan was that, over the course of her life, I'd fill it with advice on how to be a strong woman. But along the way, I got caught up in the stories of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, and so many others. So how do you pick the best heroes for your kids?

A hero can only be as good as the bad guy.

I have lots of heroes: anyone and everyone who does whatever they can to leave the natural world better than they found it.
