“My husband and I like to reminisce about how, when we were 9, we read ...” — Judy Blume Quote

“My husband and I like to reminisce about how, when we were 9, we read straight through L. Frank Baum's 'Oz' series, books filled with wizards and witches. And you know what those subversive tales taught us? That we loved to read!”

“My characters live inside my head for a long time before I actually start a book about them. Then, they become so real to me I talk about them at the dinner table as if they are real. Some people consider this weird. But my family understands.”

“A good writer is always a people watcher.”

“Once upon a time, I sat in my mother's lap as she turned the pages of Golden Books, and I gradually learned to read.”

“I've raised three kids. I'm a lawyer. I've written books on the Constitution.”

“I think books that are meant to be read in the nighttime ought to confront the very fears that we're trying to think about.”
