More quotes by Judy Blume
I thought [books ban] was crazy. Really my thoughts were This is America, we don't do this here but of course I know a lot better now. And I wasn't the only one. Norma Klein was writing at the same time. Her books were going. So many of us. When you say to me, no you can't do this I say, oh yes I can.
Judy Blume
I do believe that people who write for children are deeply connected to their own childhood.
Judy Blume
My mother was my greatest fan.
Judy Blume
Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I don’t even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it that’s wrong.
Judy Blume
I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet.
Judy Blume

When I was twelve. And I was going through my parents' bookshelves, I found the most wonderful books and plenty of. Within those wonderful books that were real turn-on's. At 12 or 13, books were such turn-ons.

I wanted to write honest books for kids because I didn't have those when I was a kid.
Judy Blume
Determination and hard work are as important as talent.
Judy Blume
[ Adult novels] was the world of grownups. There was nothing about teenagers.
Judy Blume
I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.
Judy Blume
You've never been in love, she said. You don't understand. If being in love means giving up your freedom, not to mention your opportunities, Caitlin said, Then I haven't missed anything.
Judy Blume
I thought [Summer Sisters ] would be a children's book - two girls who summer together from very different backgrounds. And then when it just kept going and going and going. They kept getting older.
Judy Blume
I stop and think before I start a new book and ask myself do I really want to spend the next year or two or three with these characters because if I don't, then I shouldn't be writing about them.
Judy Blume
Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
Judy Blume
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
Judy Blume
The parent reads the book. The kid reads the book and then they can talk about the characters instead of talking about themselves. You know there's a connection even if you don't talk about it when you read the same books.
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.
