“I am no trouble at all. You could press me into dough and make sugar cookies out of me, I’ve been so sweet.”

Relief is a wonderful emotion, highly underrated.

The Wise County Bookmobile is one of the most beautiful sights in the world to me.

And then just like real sisters, we listen and don’t judge.

On every shelf, we see ourselves, experience our collective conscious, describe our dreams and our great longing for times that have passed.

There’s nothing an artist needs more – even more than excellent tools and stamina – than a deadline.

I even love the smell of books.

For a woman, love is the highest dream.

They do not begin to describe me. They do not begin to express what is inside of me.

All the aspects of playwriting, scene-building, the architecture of dramatizing.

I’ve got to have my cookies and cream! But I work out a lot, so I burn a lot of calories.

Mary’s house smelled like lemon furniture polish and oatmeal cookies and logs in a fireplace.
