- "Well, I never got into the young adult headspace. With ‘Twilight,’ they are pretty adult themes, aside from maybe the first one, but even that. They’re very adult themes, actually, particularly as the characters age. I never wrote for young adults. I wrote for myself, as an audience."― Melissa Rosenberg
- "Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you’re younger. But I haven’t abandoned the genre: I love falling down; I love Lucille Ball. It’s just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can’t convincingly portray at this age."― Julia Roberts
- "I was apprehensive. I feared every time I talked about poetry, it would be filtered through the lens of race, sex, and age."― Rita Dove
