Determination And Hard Work Are As Important

Determination And Hard Work Are As Important As Talent.

I Don't Really Know Exactly How It Happened But I Don't Like The Idea That I Would Ever Have Said I'm Going To Write About Racism Or Puberty Or Bullying.

With "margaret," I Remember Clearly It Was, You Know Because I Did Remember It Clearly. I Was Young. I Was Young In Terms Of Experience And What Did I Know About And I Had An Incredible Memory From My Own Childhood. And So It Never Occurred To Me To Write For Any Other Age Group. And I Thought I'm Going To Write A Book And I'm Going To Tell The Truth.
