I believe my readers are crazy about their parents and want to be just like them when they grow up.

I never want to grow up.

I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me.

I love all of it, thinking up the plots, getting to know the kids in the story, their parents, backyards, pizza toppings.

I believe my voice is pretty much the same. I've written 75 books, so I'm better at it now than I was earlier in my career.

When I grow up, I still want to be a director.
