Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.

I'm not nearly as outrageously brave as many of my rascals that I write. But I think the rascal spirit must reside in me somewhere.

The Devil, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing.

My dad is kind of a rascal, like in a Dickensian sense. He just goes from career to career.

The devil reigns in me more than in any man I can think of.

The devil ain't got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil's a good friend, too... because when you don't know him, that's the time he can mosh you down.

Because I'm a good girl, I tend to fall for the bad boy persona, and it ends up biting me in the butt. They end up not knowing how to treat me, and I end up completely devastated.

If you make the bad guy enticing and dangerous, that's where the excitement of playing the role really kicks in. I don't get to do that in my normal day-to-day life. Life is too taxing to go to those dark places.

Why doesn't that Devil take me with him? It would be much better with him than it is here.

I don't always get to do a lot of bad guys.
