"I'd like to balance my schedule once and for all so I could sit down in a corner and read a book for 20 minutes without being interrupted. That would make me deliriously happy."

"I would like to freeze-frame last night: dinner with my husband and stepson and daughter-in-law and some great chicken. That's all I need. And maybe a better terry-cloth bathrobe—actually, my whole family would like me to have a better terry-cloth bathrobe. The more beat-up they are, the more good memories they have, but I do look a little like the lunatic aunt from the attic."

"I want to achieve my full artistic potential, though I don't yet know what that is. I will be 60 this year, and I've created a life that includes many good things: teaching, family, friends. But making art hasn't always been at the center of my world. I want to see what happens when I put it there. Maybe in ten years I would write ten novels!"
Sapphire,
author of the novel Push,
adapted for the screen as Precious
