I was one of those kids who always wrote.

I have written my whole life. I remember writing as a small child.

For 10 or 11 years, I had my kids, I wrote four or five books, and I was working all the damn time.

I loved writing for kids, I loved talking to children about what I'd written, I don't want to leave that behind.

When I was young, I wrote everything, and I thought I would be an all around writer, that I would write everything.

I never wrote for children. I wrote with respect for the audience, which I've maintained all my life. Doesn't mean I couldn't be risque, but I did it smartly, without being vulgar.

I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet.

Writing was something I always as a kid thought would be fabulous and glamorous to be a writer.

I wrote a lot when I was younger, though never anything like plays or scripts.
