I asked myself what it was that I wanted from writing and where my connection with books began, and the answer to that question was definitely in childhood, because that’s where my connection with reading began Picture Quote #1

Some people become passionate readers and fans of science fiction during childhood or adolescence. I picked up on SF somewhat later than that; my escape reading of choice during my youth was historical novels, and one of my favorite writers was Mary Renault Picture Quote #1

If it’s a good book, anyone will read it. I’m totally unashamed about still reading things I loved in my childhood Picture Quote #1

Aunt Syl must have conveniently stopped reading the childhood fairy tales when the knight left the damsel in distress to pursue a better damsel out of my bedtime routine Picture Quote #1

Yes, my parents are strict about me having a childhood. I go ice skating and sledding, and swimming in the summer Picture Quote #1

Nothing has ever touched on what fun childhood was. Summer holidays were bliss. We made home movies, with real stories in them. My father had such charm and charisma, and made everything so funny Picture Quote #1

Honestly, my entire childhood could be summed up with one word: Reader. I was always hunched over a book; in fact, I was the only kid in the world who got paler in the summer, because I’d sneak down into our cool, dank cellar and sit alone with a book for hours Picture Quote #1

That aesthetic of the Star Wars universe: the do-it-yourself, hotrod ethic that George Lucas exported from his childhood, is exactly the same kind of soul behind what we do and build for the show. It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done Picture Quote #1

I was born and brought up near a village in Nottinghamshire and in my childhood enjoyed the freedom of the rather isolated country life. After the First World War, my father had bought a small farm, which became a marvelous playground for his five children Picture Quote #1

My theory is that Kurt had a lot of residual pain from his childhood. And when you pile that on top of his experience in World War II - he was in Dresden when it was bombed and saw a city annihilated. When you combine those two things, my impression of Kurt Vonnegut at 84 was that he was a very pained and haunted man Picture Quote #1

I had a nice childhood. War and all the experiences affected me as a person and helped me to grow, to change Picture Quote #1

I came into politics because of a real childhood concern about the Cold War. So to me the importance of the nuclear deterrent is actually really ingrained in me Picture Quote #1

Hema Malini and Nutan were my childhood crushes! I met Hemaji once when dad took me to the set of a film. Both these ladies stole my heart with their beauty and grace Picture Quote #1

It’s essential that a part of you not grow up. Childhood wonder gives us our spark and beauty Picture Quote #1

Within childhood behaviors, there are known behaviors; there’s teasing and there’s name-calling, and different kinds of things happen as kids start to socialize. And then there’s serious bullying, and then there’s actual aggression and behavioral problems. But you can’t put it all under the tent of bullying Picture Quote #1

I’m sure that my parents’ behavior has entered my work, I’m sorry to say. I don’t think you need to have a difficult childhood to be funny, but it helps Picture Quote #1

The state of childhood resonates with life inside a fantasy novel. If you have no control over how you spend large chunks of your day, or are at the mercy of flawed giant beings, then the desire to bend the laws of the world by magic is strong and deep Picture Quote #1

I can remember the three restaurant experiences of my childhood. All I wanted to do on my birthday was to go to the Automat in New York... but I don’t know if you consider that a real restaurant Picture Quote #1

Recently, I’ve really responded to books that bring the magic of childhood back to us as adults Picture Quote #1

I spent my entire childhood in an environment in which the mighty of the earth had no place outside story books and dreams Picture Quote #1

For ‘American Born Chinese,’ my first graphic novel with First Second Books, I did mostly ‘memory’ research. It’s fiction, but I pulled heavily from my own childhood Picture Quote #1

I had absolutely no trauma in my childhood. If anyone ever assumed that my books were autobiographical, they’d be sorely disappointed, because none of these things happened to me Picture Quote #1

The books I loved in childhood - the first loves - I’ve read so often that I’ve internalized them in some really essential way: they are more inside me now than out Picture Quote #1

My parents were wonderful people, but there were terrible rows between them, and at times I found the atmosphere at home unbearable. The Arthur Ransome books gave me an alternative childhood and the tools to escape Picture Quote #1

Race, class, childhood experience, the books I found on my mother’s bookshelf, the albums I found in my father’s basement - these things are all part of who I am and will always be a part of my work Picture Quote #1

My self-esteem had been crushed through years of childhood bullying and serious abuses, which would take me decades to overcome Picture Quote #1

When I perform on stage I become those male bullies, those dominators from my childhood. That’s probably why it’s so scary, because they scared me Picture Quote #1
