Sometimes I think I am still that 5-year-old girl playing with her dogs in the yard. That's how I see myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like I'm five sometimes because I still enjoy myself. I enjoy what I do.
If you look at little kids and wild animals, these are two groups of things that whenever I'm with them forces me to be in the moment.
I'm still that little girl who lisped and sat in the back of the car and threw vegetables at the back of her head when we drove home from the market. That never goes.
I feel it in my bones that if I had a kid, I would not either continue to write or have written the book I have done. So it's just me and the dog. I've always gotten along better with animals than I have with children, anyway.
When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed animals, pretend like they're real dogs.
I have a great relationship with animals, and with children. I get to their level. I try to see the way a child looks at the world, it's hugely different.
I still like to sit in a room and play games all day, so I'm a kid, really.
I spent my entire childhood observing people. I still do.
I realise I'm still a child, though I do feel older.
I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.
