Each of my books took roughly one and a half years to write. Some may have taken a shorter time to write the draft and a longer time to revise, while others were the opposite.

That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.
Alex Flinn
What happened to romance? Sappy, soppy longhand love letters.
Alex Flinn
Although my other ambition was to be a musical theater star (and I would attend college on a voice scholarship), writing was never far from my mind.

Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.

Those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy.
Alex Flinn
In stories like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, they always say the heroine is 'as good as she is beautiful.' I wondered if people just wanted that to be true, wanted the beautiful to be good. I wondered if they wanted the ugly to be bad because then they wouldn't have to feel bad for them.

I love you, I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won't say it back.

A beautiful thing is precious no matter the price

A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.

I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
Alex Flinn
Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.

Since I've written many of my books from a less-than-sympathetic viewpoint, I think that being able to see things from all sides is a useful talent.
Alex Flinn
True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage in Euphrasia until he finds you.

I am a princess. I do not follow fashions--I make them.

The magic is over, but its effects will live forever.

This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.

You are right. I have no idea, and it is none of my business, and I was taught to obey my parents. But sometimes it is just impossible to obey blindly. Sometimes a child must strike out on her own. A child cannot be a child forever, whether that means not touching a spindle or . . . or . . .

I wrote poetry, journals, and, especially, plays for the neighborhood kids to perform. I had an ordinary, happy childhood. Nothing much was going on, but I had fun.
