You'd think he was the first person to ever lose a tooth!

I can't relate to people who treat me as a 'famous person.' I only like to hang around with people who treat me as a regular person because that's what I am. All people are really just regular.

I'm an optimistic person, so I like to leave my readers with a sense of hopefulness.

I was twenty-seven when I began to write seriously, and after two years of rejections, my first book, 'The One in the Middle is the Green Kangaroo,' was accepted for publication.

I don't think people change; electronics change, the things we have change, but the way we live doesn't change.

I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.
