Quote

It is with pain that I read of the dire effects of my book upon the minds of young girls.

I don't reread my books after they're published, because it's agony.

Books are my weakness.

At that time, I had recently finished a book called Amazing Grace, which many people tell me is a very painful book to read. Well, if it was painful to read, it was also painful to write. I had pains in my chest for two years while I was writing that book.

I feel I've got 10 books in me.

I like books that don't give you an easy ride. I like the feeling of discomfort. The sense of being implicated.

All of my books now come from readers' ideas.

My books are all fantastically sentimental.

I never expected my books to do even as well as they have. I still feel grateful for it, every single day.

I cry at the end of every book.
