More quotes by 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 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
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
My mother was my greatest fan.
Judy Blume
Determination and hard work are as important as talent.
Judy Blume
I love to watch movies.
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
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
Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.
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 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
It's not so much that I like him as a person God, but as a boy he's very handsome.
Judy Blume
I like revising much, much better than getting down a first draft. The first draft is just getting the pieces to the puzzle. Then I get to put the puzzle together!
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 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
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
Judy Blume
I love you, Michael Wagner.” “Forever?” he asked. “Forever,” I said.
Judy Blume
Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so you've got to fight it.
Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
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.
