Personally I have always liked boys, but if it's a girl, marvelous, because I was raised among women.

Boys are quite often whimsical. Whereas girls are modest by nature and know their responsibilities very well. Their weapons are service, sacrifice, and love, by which they conquer over the males.

But I think boys ultimately are easier than girls.

I have never been a girlie girl and have always been a boys' girl with an equal amount of friends who were boys and girls.

I never call them 'guys;' I always call them 'boys.' Maybe it's a superiority complex - my needing to keep them down.

Although individual temperaments vary, boys are designed to be more assertive, audacious, and excitable than girls are.

Boys can just wear a suit on the red carpet and that's fine, but for girls it's all about the way you look, and there are constant comparisons.

I can't speak for boys because I'm not one! But I just imagine they think differently.

Boys are different from girls, but boys are also different from other boys, just as girls are different from other girls. Calling a book 'for boys' or 'for girls' is well-meaning, but to me, not terribly helpful.

Books written by boys are given very different treatment to those written by girls: they're even given very different covers. People also expect, in this YA-booming world, girls to be less experimental than boys: girls are achieving a lot of success, but they're confined.
