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
Image
I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.
Judy Blume
Image
The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
Judy Blume
Image
[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
Image
Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.
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.

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.

I think we made out [sexuality changing]. I think that's really great, and we didn't jump into intercourse. And there were no blow jobs.
Judy Blume

Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.
Judy Blume
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
Judy Blume
Image
How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.
Judy Blume
Image
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
Image
I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
Judy Blume
Image
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
Image
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
Image
I am not scared of you, I am scare of these feelings.
