That is what I'm looking forward to the most, practical learning. I want to be a registered nurse so getting to talk to people who already work in those jobs can really teach me what to expect when I get out in the real world. ↗

I try to get closer to reality, to get close to the contradictions. The cinema world can be a real world rather than a dream world. ↗

Often the magical elements in my books are standing in for elements of the real world, the small and magical-in-their-own-right sorts of things that we take for granted and no longer pay attention to, like the bonds of friendship that entwine our own lives with those of other people and places. ↗

I was totally absorbed in the real world, the politics, the history, the news, and I just couldn't find my way into the fictional world... When I finally could return to writing the novel, it was in fits and starts. ↗

All novels are about crime. You'd be hard pressed to find any novel that does not have an element of crime. I don't see myself as a crime novelist, but there are crimes in my books. That's the nature of storytelling, if you want to reflect the real world. ↗

My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile. ↗

The thing that bums me out about 'The Real World' is I don't want to believe that teenagers are that stupid. ↗

Today's young women don't really see inequities until they go out into the real world. ↗

I don't think I've ever been an agnostic. I've always thought there's a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there's a world to come. ↗
