Quote

When I first came out with my fans and the wind hit me, I almost took off.

Like every Southern writer, I thought that I needed to write the next 'Gone With the Wind.'

I was once supposed to play the wind in a commercial - yes, the wind. I didn't get it.

I'm not a fan of 'Gone With the Wind.' I didn't like the movie. I didn't like the book.

I never hid out. I was never big enough a star.

Every day I realized I would not be a star.

I was never the star of my team, not even in my small town.

We were raised without movies, theater or music. We had only nature, the hills, the trees. When I got on the set of 'Manon,' I wasn't star-struck because I didn't know what a star was.

When I was a teenager, the number one book I was most obsessed with was 'Gone with the Wind.'
