I like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.
Judy Blume
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
Determination and hard work are as important as talent.
Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
Judy Blume
I was sick all the time, one exotic illness after another, which lasted throughout my twenties. My worst decade. But from the day the first book was accepted, I never got sick again. Writing changed my life.
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
We are friends for life. When we’re together the years fall away. Isn’t that what matters? To have someone who can remember with you? To have someone who remembers how far you’ve come?
Judy Blume

Judy Blume
[I]t's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.
Judy Blume
Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?
Judy Blume
Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.
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 love to watch movies.
Judy Blume
When I'm writing a book, you can't think about your audience. You're going to be in big trouble if you think about it. You're got to write from deep inside.
Judy Blume
[ Adult novels] was the world of grownups. There was nothing about teenagers.
Judy Blume
our finger prints dont fade from the lives we touch
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
My mother was my greatest fan.
Judy Blume
I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
