“I'm not sure I can write about America for the same reason I'm not sur...” — Meg Rosoff Quote

I'm not sure I can write about America for the same reason I'm not sure I can write about adults - I have no critical distance on either place.

I have never written out of a desire to be controversial.

I can actually trace the moment I decided I couldn't be a doctor. It was in biology, they brought in these African crickets and we were supposed to dissect them - but there's no way I was touching those bugs.

There's an overwhelming sense of paranoia in the suburbs. People there seem so much more paranoid to me than people in the city about their kids being kidnapped or their parties being raided or their drinks being spiked. There's a kind of hysteria about that.

I think the word is adult!

You're going to get different kinds of animation for different kinds of audiences. Traditionally, adult animation has been for the young male audience. There's no reason why that should be.

Many of our deepest motives come, not from an adult logic of how things work in the world, but out of something that is frozen from childhood.

I could barely function as an adult; I slept through alarm clocks and lost train tickets mid-journey.

No adult in my family would ever tell me anything about who my father was. I knew from an older cousin - only four years older than I am - everything, or what little I could discover about him.
