“The first book you write because of the way it makes you feel. The second one yo…” — Kathryn Stockett

I think if you're president, color goes away completely: you're president and it doesn't matter if you're white, green or purple.

It can be really powerful to write something when you're sad.

I sit in my little office and I feel like I've got all my readers staring at me.
