More quotes by 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 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
The best books come from someplace deep inside.... Become emotionally involved. If you don't care about your characters, your readers won't either.
Judy Blume
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
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
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
It was a such a surprise, such an absolute shocking surprise to me to not know what you're doing and to find out that this thing that you don't even know how to do, that you're sure you don't know how to do, speaks to so many people and touches so many people in some way.
Judy Blume
Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so you've got to fight it.
Judy Blume
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
Judy Blume
I've heard that some authors do dream their books and I would love that if it happened to me, but so far it hasn't. Sometimes I'll get a good idea during the night and if I don't write it down, I won't remember it the next morning.
Judy Blume
I am not scared of you, I am scare of these feelings.
Judy Blume
hi I hope u want to be my friends
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
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 fell in love with books at the Elizabeth Public Library when I was four.
Judy Blume
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
