“I think you are going through so many 'firsts' as a teenager, and it's...” — Jenny Han Quote

“I think you are going through so many 'firsts' as a teenager, and it's a charged time because of that. You don't have much autonomy in life. Everything is just kind of crazy, and there are so many huge decisions to be made, like where are you going to college or who you date. These things can really affect your whole life.”

“I really love to write about food, crafts, and fashion, so those details will always be a part of my books. I think they inject stories with color and flavor, providing a tactile experience.”

“I don't think you ever love anything as passionately as you do when you're a teen. You remember the books you read as a young person your whole life. I feel so lucky to write for young adults.”

“When you go out on loan it's not the glitz and glamour, there's nowhere near the amount of money there is at the top level. People's livelihoods are on the line, mortgages and families. You are making decisions which can affect people.”

“To some degree I'm tied to the budgets I can raise. And that starts to very much affect you... originally I always shot outside because I couldn't afford any lights. But now as the stories get bigger it's actually more expensive to shoot outside because we're trying to do moonlight all the time and there's so many night scenes.”
