I Always Had A Fascination With Twins.

When I First Thought Of The Idea For 'sweet Valley High,' I Loved The Idea Of High School As Microcosm Of The Real World. And What I Really Liked Was How It Moved Things On From 'sleeping Beauty'-esque Romance Novels Where The Girl Had To Wait For The Hero. This Would Be Girl-driven, Very Different, I Decided - And Indeed It Is.

I Love 'sweet Valley,' But I Love It From A Different Angle. There Are People For Whom It Is Their Adolescence. They Own It, In A Way That Even I Don't. I've Come To Respect The Project More Because Of The Response Than I've Had. It's More Important Than I Realized It Was. I Didn't Understand The Breadth And Depth Of It. Now I'm Beginning To More.

If You Want To Mess With Me, You'd Rather Be Ready For The Consequences.

You See, Suzanne, History Lectures Bore Me, Art Films Bore Me, Your Friends Bore Me, And, If You Want To Know The Truth, I Guess You Bore Me Too.
