writing play lunch
If you let anything infringe on your writing time, it will. And you won't get the writing done. Taking one day off can cost me five days of getting back in the mood. Going out to lunch can cost me anywhere from five hours to three days. And for me it's not worth it. For my own sense of well-being I have to finish my work before I can play.
fun play brave
I wish I were brave, although I try. I work too hard and don't play enough. Too much work ethic, not enough 'fun'.
play enough too-much-work
I work too hard and don't play enough.
believe play parent
.. All you know is your parents telling you that you're not deserving, you're not worthy, and no one will ever want you. Believe me, tapes like that play so loud, you can't hear anything else. Even when it's clear otherwise.
books books-and-reading nice people versions
People do like the film versions of things, ... I thought this was a nice way to get my books back into the marketplace.

You can't have nine children and not be organized. Otherwise it just looks like Appalachia.

When people look at me outside, they think, 'She's so lucky,' but no one's exempt from tragedy.
astonished famous occurred success wrote
I'm astonished by my success. I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.
I want to be Miss Universe when I grow up.
I wish I were braver, although I try.

If you can see the magic in a fairytale, you can face the future.
success congratulations
I'm astonished by my success.
