“I write for whoever needs to read it.” — Jacqueline Woodson Quote

“I write for whoever needs to read it.”

“The conscious imprinting that happens between, say, 10 and 16 is huge. I think it's so important for me as a writer to stay open to the memories of that period because they were so formative.”

“I wrote all the time, and I had teachers who encouraged it.”

“I work hard. And whoever they put in front of me, I guess that's who gets beat up that day.”

“It is easy to say that there are the rich and the poor, and so something should be done. But in history, there are always the rich and the poor. If the poor were not as poor, we would still call them the poor. I mean, whoever has less can be called the poor. You will always have the 10% that have less and the 10% that have the most.”

“You put anyone with me, they're getting a run for their money. I'm willing to show and prove it and fight whoever.”
