I am a true psychic. In my family it's the norm. My sister and mother are always 'in my head' and say or do the same things I'm doing at the same time.

Silence is golden for me. I live in the country and hear only my pets, birds, crickets, and the wind in the trees.

I was about seven years old. In my mother's garage I used to create plays and star in them and charge the neighborhood kids five cents to see them. It was a lot of fun.

After I published my first book, my sister, known as Kali Willows, began writing. She fell as in love with it as I did. She has a number of short stories.

I have my favorite authors, but in reality, my mother did. Though she's never written a book, she paved the way for me to.

If you are an intelligent human being then you are interested in climate change because it's the most important issue of our time.

I am not interested in having somebody telling that what I have to water down my message or that some advertising person would not like it.

We have got a very short time to turn climate change around otherwise we will all die.

I've always loved J.R.R. Tolkein and recently, Christine Feehan and J.K.Rowling. There are many as I'm an avid reader, but those three come to the fore.

Religion has a way of making people into idiots is what my father says.

In passion we trust, for passion finds infinity and says that is how many ways I can exist.

He got a tan over break. I used to tell him he was so pale he looked like a marshmallow. He hated that I compared him to food. I told him that's what he got for calling me caramel. It shut him up.

I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

The statements of atheists ought to be perfectly clear of doubt. Now it is not perfectly clear that the soul is material.

I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.

The atmosphere of orthodoxy is always damaging to prose, and above all it is completely ruinous to the novel, the most anarchical of all forms of literature.

Perhaps teachers must be good actors where lessons are concerned, but in life outside the class, we mustn't hide from our pupils our individual spirits.

You can do too much and oversell your market.
