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.

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.

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.

I relish the time I have when there are no interruptions. Most often the best time for writing is late at night.

In real life, when someone's partner calls them, they can tell from the first word their partner says what their mood is.

I rot on the wall, my own Dorian Gray.

For my sake, the entire world was created.

Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like I'm comin' home.

I recall my mother asking in about 1946 what I was and I replied proudly that I was a professor. A decade later she repeated her question and I repeated my answer. "No promotion?" was her comment.

Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

We learn by example and by direct experience because there are real limits to the adequacy of verbal instruction.

[Barak Obama] just said children who are Americans or legal residents, they will remain low priorities for enforcement - meaning deportation - as long as they've not.

Let us make of our homes sanctuaries of righteousness, places of prayer, and abodes of love, that we might merit the blessings that can come only from our Heavenly Father.

In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.
