Quote

I've always been drawn to writing for young readers. The books that I read growing up remain in my mind very strongly.

I don't actually have a one wellspring of inspiration. Though I'm most often inspired while reading - both fiction and nonfiction.

I loved to read and would read anything that roused my interest, whether it was below my age level or above it, even if I could barely make sense of it.

I discovered philosophy in my youth when I read 'wildly,' and thus I was exposed to the world of ideas.

I grew up in a house full of books and parents who read, which led to me to reading from a very young age. And reading seemed to naturally progress to writing.

My thoughts can sometimes be spurred by what I read, but my reading is extremely eclectic.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.

I read pretty eclectically - fiction, non-fiction, and poetry - and I've been inspired and influenced by a number of writers.

When I was a kid, I went through the whole process of reading great literature and trying to be very widely read.
