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.

When I see kids standing next to their mothers at book signings, clutching a copy of 'Forever,' I know what's coming. They'll say to me, 'How old do I have to be to read this?' hoping I'll give them permission. But I can't do that.

I meet people at book signings. My record now, for signing, is ten and a half hours in one sitting.

I always have trouble with titles for my books. I usually have no title until the editor has to present the book and calls me frantically, 'Judy, we need a title.'

I've learned at the book signings that everyone has obstacles.
