Most of my mail comes from young people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Soon after publishing a book for kids, my mailbox began to fill with letters from children all across America. Not because my novels for young readers are bestsellers - they're not by a long shot - but because today's kids love to write to authors.
People send everyone hate mail. That's the way the world works right now, I'm nothing special.
I do get a lot of mail. I get a lot of foreign mail because my mail gets mixed with Emilio Estevez.
Every day, I get e-mails from kids who want a tree - a world away from the adult world.
The mail amazes me. I sometimes get these letters that are ten pages, and handwritten, from women pouring their hearts out and, for security reasons, I can only respond with a headshot and 'Dear so and so, be good. WM.' It never feels like enough.
I get a lot of fan mail from girls. It's interesting because it's not just the U.S. - you get things from people all over the world. They send these postage stamps and you're like, 'Where do you live?' It's crazy. I'll get letters from the troops, too.
In old age we are like a batch of letters that someone has sent. We are no longer in the past, we have arrived.
I get a lot of letters from people.
It drives me crazy when your parents try to read your mind. It's even worse when they try to read your mail.
I get a lot of letters, mostly from family members who have been affected by cancer rather than young people themselves. I reply to them all.
