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.

More quotes by Judy Blume
Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
Judy Blume
First of all I can only focus on one creative project at a time. I wish I could focus on two, because I really only write.
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
I love to watch movies.
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
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
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
The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
Judy Blume
Sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. That's a problem!
Judy Blume
Heavy petting, that was fun! That was good. And frankly, you know I wish kids would go back to it. It's very satisfying. And it's not as scary. So many girls, you know this. I mean they are having what we call sex. Right? They're having intercourse. They don't want to, they don't get anything out of it.
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 kept a diary as a teenager but I never would have shared it with anyone. Still, I think it's very good practice to write things down.
Judy Blume
I am not scared of you, I am scare of these feelings.
Judy Blume
Margaret was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.
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
I think about Lenaya and Hugh. Will they know how much I've changed this year? Will they have changed too? I'll wait until tomorrow to find out. And then it's possible I won't find out after all. Because some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.
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
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.
Judy Blume
I don't believe in writer's block. There are good days when you're writing and less good days. I've learned that if it's not happening to walk away and return later. I doodle a lot and often get my best ideas with a pencil in my hand while I'm doodling. The problem is, sometimes I lose my doodles and that's bad!
