I Love Movies, And Theater,

I Want You To Know It Was No Big Deal...those Movies Showing Women Screaming In Labor Are Plain Bullshit....there's Nothing To It...you Just Push And Push And Finally The Baby Pops Out...to Tell You The Truth I Don't Even Rember That Much About It Except There Was A Very Nice Guy Standing Over Me And Every Time A Strong Contraction Started He Gave Me A Whiff Of Gas.

I Was Sick All The Time, One Exotic Illness After Another, Which Lasted Throughout My Twenties. My Worst Decade. But From The Day The First Book Was Accepted, I Never Got Sick Again. Writing Changed My Life.

Determination And Hard Work Are As Important As Talent.

That's Good When You Don't Know What You're Doing. But You're Doing It And It's Spontaneous And You're Not Afraid.

A Person Without Curiosity May As Well Be Dead.
