I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.
Julianna Baggott
When you're in the world looking for only one thing, you find it or it finds you. The obsession can be mutual
Julianna Baggott
One of the reasons I write in different genres is that I get to have the feeling - even fleetingly - that I'm not just writing like Baggott again. I can escape myself.

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust.

Julianna Baggott
Our imaginations are strong as children. Sometimes they get shoved aside, these imaginations. They get dusty and mildewed with age. The imagination is a muscle that has to be put to use or it shrivels.
Julianna Baggott
I write across genres so I see them, more often, as complementary instead of separated by boundaries.
Julianna Baggott
So far, I should be calm and more specifically not like that...Anything else? Would you like to do surgery on my personality? How about open-heart surgery? I´ve got some tools
Julianna Baggott
I've left the Church - for many reasons that I've written about publicly - but it's still a large part of my identity, and I still have my faith, if not my Church.
Julianna Baggott

Julianna Baggott
Red Sox fans have been pushed to the brink over the years, but that's how faith grows stronger.

Sometimes when reading aloud to my husband, I'll start crying. It completely stuns me.

Then I realize what I may or may not have done.
