I was also an early writer, and when I began to write, at about the age of seven, stories in pencil with crayon illustrations that my poor mother was obligated to read, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, (Laughter) and they talked a lot about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out.
També vaig ser una escriptora precoç. Quan vaig començar a escriure, als set anys, contes a llapis, amb il·lustracions de colors, que la meva pobra mare havia de llegir, escrivia la mateixa mena d'històries que llegia. Tots els meus personatges eren blancs amb ulls blaus, que jugaven a la neu, menjaven pomes (Rialles) i parlaven contínuament del clima: que fantàstic que era que hagués sortit el sol.
