I'm a very nervy kind of person, who finds it almost impossible to relax.

There's nothing quite as exciting or moving as the very finest literary non-fiction.

It seems like we get a little lead and then we relax and let them back in it. We just don't have a lot of intensity right now. We need to pick that up if we want to play at a state championship level.

Mostly I wanted to be a writer, though for a couple of years there I wanted to be an animator, because I loved drawing and capturing beautiful movements.

The fact that I ended up married to a decent man is still a source of amazement to me, thanks to 'The Women's Room.'

I was lucky enough to be a child during the renaissance of Australian children's literature, when people like Ivan Southall, Colin Thiele, Lilith Norman and Wrightson were pumping out hugely inspiring stuff.
