I really didn't want to have my name on the center, because it just seemed like it was too much of a personal thing.

I never wanted to give up my given name. I'm proud of it, but the only problem was that no one remembered it. It was just a little too awkward, and they mispronounced it so frequently.

I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.

Putting your name on something and having no idea how it came about if someone else did all the work - that's not me.

My name? Of course it helps. If you've got it, use it. I'm proud of it, for sure.

I thought it was pretty good to be mentioned in a big paper, so I decided to keep the nickname.

I don't mind that I am not necessarily a household name, because I think my characters have outshined me. That was by design. And I'm not wanting for appreciation.

I know my name gets used illegally all the time all over the internet. You know, it is a trademarked name, so it will be something that we always have to deal with. I never needed to change it. It was always fine with me. It is a strange name; that's for sure.

I used the name Jane Roe because I didn't want my personal name to be involved in it.
