Strangely enough, the first character in Fried Green Tomatoes was the cafe, and the town. I think a place can be as much a character in a novel as the people.

I think that people that are not sensitive, who seem to bang through life, do survive, but I don't think they get the really soaring feelings that people who are more artistically bent can get.

I believe poor people are good people, except the ones that are mean . . .

I wonder how many people don't get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to be with.

Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.

Remember if people talk behind your back, it only means you're two steps ahead!
