More quotes by Judy Blume
How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.
Judy Blume
I like one hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain and things that are pink. I hate pimples, baked potatoes, when my mother's mad, and religious holidays.
Judy Blume
My mother was my greatest fan.
Judy Blume
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
Judy Blume
Summer Sisters is probably my least autobiographical book. The whole idea started with rowing down the pond. And I heard an explosion. I don't like sudden loud noises. They scare me. And then all these people came running down the hill and jumped in the water in their finery and a bride and groom was with them, and that's where it all started.
Judy Blume
I don't really know exactly how it happened but I don't like the idea that I would ever have said I'm going to write about racism or puberty or bullying.
Judy Blume
It's strange, but when it comes right down to it I never do fall apart--even when I'm sure I will.
Judy Blume
I always had stories inside my head and one day I just decided to start writing them down. I didn't actually decide.
Judy Blume
I never read a horse book in my life. But I thought that's what my friends were reading and that's what I should be reading. And this was Dobbin Does This and Dobbin Does That.
Judy Blume
My mother was a cracker jack typist. And she would come in and sit at my house and type the final type script before I would then send it to the publisher. And it was nice for us.
Judy Blume
I love picture books. I think some of the best people in children's books are the ones who create their own picture books. I wish I could say I'm one of them, but I'm not.
Judy Blume
[ Adult novels] was the world of grownups. There was nothing about teenagers.
Judy Blume
I love to talk with children. I try to visit schools but it's hard for me to travel when I'm trying to write. Some authors are able to do both.
Judy Blume
Something awful happens to a person who grows up as a creative kid and suddenly finds no creative outlet as an adult.
Judy Blume
We must, we must, we must increase our bust.
Judy Blume
Snoring keeps the monsters away.
Judy Blume
Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read Summer Sisters, I'm hoping that they'll read this.
Judy Blume
There's no book or play or series or anything that speaks to everyone, because then it wouldn't speak to anyone.
Judy Blume
Margaret was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.
Judy Blume
I never read the Bobbsey Twins or Boxcar Children.But I did remember being downtown, at the bookstore by myself and having an allowance and spending it on a Nancy Drew mysteries. And I was probably eleven, twelve.
