All prizes have a role, if they are run with integrity and with a clear focus on reading and quality writing. i don't think any of them is necessary, but they all play an incredibly important role in building a body of literature, in introducing new authors to new readers, and extending reading.

More From Kate Mosse

Are my characters copies of people in real life? ... don't ever believe the stories about authors putting people into novels. that idea is a kind of joke on both authors and readers. all the readers believe that authors do it. all the authors know that it can't be done.

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

Without the book business it would be difficult or impossible for true books to find their true readers and without that solitary (and potentially subversive) alone with a book the whole razzmatazz of prizes, banquets, television spectaculars, bestseller lists, even literature courses, editors and authors, are all worthless. unless a book finds lovers among those solitary readers, it will not live . . . or live for long.

Burmese authors and artists can play the role that artists everywhere play. they help to mold the outlook of a society - not the whole outlook and they are not the only ones to mold the outlook of society, but they have an important role to play there. and i think if they take up this role seriously and link it to the kind of changes were wish to bring about in our country they could be a tremendous help.

See... relationships are hard, man. for order, for any relationship to work, both people have to be on the same page, both people have to have the same focus, and we all know what that page is. we all know what that focus is. in order for the relationship to work both people have to have the same focus, and what's that focus? that focus is all about her! it's all about her!

I believe we should spend less time worrying about the quantity of books children read and more time introducing them to quality books that will turn them on to the joy of reading and turn them into lifelong readers.

We were the first fascists, when we had 100,000 disciplined men, and were training children, mussolini was still an unknown. mussolini copied our fascism.

When i began writing, i didn't read any other children's poets... i didn't want to be influenced until i'd found my own voice. now i read them all.
Children Writing Voice
Ammu loved her children (of course), but their wide-eyed vulnerability and their willingness to love people who didn't really love them exasperated her and sometimes made her want to hurt them-- just as an education, a precaution.
