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.
Eu fui também uma escritora precoce. E quando comecei a escrever, por volta dos 7 anos, histórias com ilustrações em giz de cera, que minha pobre mãe era obrigada a ler, eu escrevia exatamente os tipos de histórias que eu lia. Todos os meus personagens eram brancos de olhos azuis. Eles brincavam na neve. Comiam maçãs. (Risos) E eles falavam muito sobre o tempo, em como era maravilhoso o sol ter aparecido.
