I'm Totally Crazy, I Know That.

There Are So Many Beautiful Things In The World Which I Will Have To Leave When I Die, But I'm Ready, I'm Ready, I'm Ready.

If There's Any Advice I Have To Give, I Would Say It's That. If You're Looking For A Way To Get Closer To Your Kids, There Ain't No Better Way Than To Grab 'em And Read. And If You Put Them In Front Of A Computer Or A Tv, You Are Abandoning Them. You Are Abandoning Them Because They Are Sitting On A Couch Or A Floor And They May Be Hugging A Dog, But They Ain't Hugging You.

I Write Books That Seem More Suitable For Children, And That's Ok With Me. They Are A Better Audience And Tougher Critics. Kids Tell You What They Think, Not What They Think They Should Think.

I'm Not Jaded. I Never Have Been Jaded. I've Always Been Surprised At My Success. I've Always Enjoyed It.

As A Child, I Felt That Books Were Holy Objects, To Be Caressed, Rapturously Sniffed, And Devotedly Provided For. I Gave My Life To Them. I Still Do. I Continue To Do What I Did As A Child; Dream Of Books, Make Books And Collect Books.
