In my books I try to tell a good story, not give messages.

All I wanted to do was to follow my passion and tell a good story.

Be unpredictable, be real, be interesting. Tell a good story.

We try to be driven by what's a good story, what's truthful, and the drama of what happens next.

For kids, multitasking electronically is common. But they are totally focused. You can tell a good story, and they listen.

A good story, a story resonant and remarkable, can be remade endlessly to tell new sides of itself for new generations of readers.
