I wanted to show those characters discovering it is possible to find common ground, as they make their way through a plotline that I hope is engrossing enough to keep the reader a willing participant. Joan D. Vinge
I was blessed in the sense that I got handed so much early on in life. I got a lot of the things people go through their 20s and 30s craving. Sheena Easton

I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television. Quincy Jones
