I think there's always room for humor, especially when you're talking about really serious issues.

I had written a book that dealt with really serious issues. Was anybody going to want to read a Christmas love story from me?

I knew that part of the problem with sensitive issues is that, because they're uncomfortable to address, we have a hard time doing so honestly, if at all.

Every action we have is going to have repercussions in ways we could not anticipate.

When you're being bullied, it can feel like no one cares, and I'm so excited to tell the teens at the schools I visit that I wouldn't be there if their school didn't care.
