When I was in high school, the genders were so separate from each other. If you weren't 'dating' somebody, you couldn't just be friends with somebody.

'The Outsiders' died on the vine being sold as a drugstore paperback.

Sometimes, I feel like I spent the first part of my life wishing to be a teen-age boy, and the second part condemned to being one.

I could write and help a lot of kids, or teach and help a few and go nuts.

My characters are fictional. I get ideas from real people, sometimes, but my characters always exist only in my head.

More people thought I was strange because I was a teenage novelist, not because I was from Oklahoma. That's where I got the looks like I was from the zoo.

I grew up with my cousins, who were as close as brothers, and frankly, I didn't like what girls were expected to do. I liked horseback riding, playing football, going to rodeos. I wanted to be in jeans all the time, and I couldn't figure out why I was supposed to conform to a certain standard, so I didn't.

I always try to write the best I can.

Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.

I just felt being part of my peer group so strongly. I was immersed in teen culture, but not taken in by it.
