It's No Fun Being Lonely.

I Really Don't Like The City Anymore. You Get Pushed And Harassed And People Grope You. It's Too Tumultuous. It's Too Crazy.

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.

My Brother, Who Was Older, Was The Gifted One, Much More Talented Than I.

I Have To Accept My Role. I Will Never Kill Myself Like Vincent Van Gogh. Nor Will I Paint Beautiful Water Lilies Like Monet. I Can't Do That. I'm In The Idiot Role Of Being A Kiddie Book Person.

Kids Don't Know About Best Sellers. They Go For What They Enjoy. They Aren't Star Chasers And They Don't Suck Up. It's Why I Like Them.
