My Memory Of My Home Was That

I Was The Big, Bossy Older Sister, Full Of Enthusiasms, Mad Fantasies, Desperate Urges To Be Famous, And Anxious To Be A Saint - A Settled Sort Of Saint, Not One Who Might Have To Suffer Or Die For Her Faith.

Happiness Is In Our Own Hearts. I Have No Regrets Of Anything In The Past. I'm Totally Cheerful And Happy, And I Think That A Lot Of Your Attitude Is Not In The Circumstances You Find Yourself In, But In The Circumstances You Make For Yourself.

I've Seen A Lot Of People Buy My Books And Then Fall Asleep On The Plane Soon Afterwards.

We're Nothing If We're Not Loved. When You Meet Somebody Who Is More Important To You Than Yourself, That Has To Be The Most Important Thing In Life, Really. And I Think We Are All Striving For It In Different Ways. I Also Believe Very, Very Strongly That Everybody Is The Hero/heroine Of His/her Own Life. I Try To Make My Characters Kind Of Ordinary, Somebody That Anybody Could Be. Because We've All Had Loves, Perhaps Love And Loss, People Can Relate To My Characters

Because I Saw My Parents Relaxing In Armchairs And Reading And Liking It, I Thought It Was A Peaceful Grown-up Thing To Do, And I Still Think That.
