“The church in the book (and movie) plays a pivotal scene. We looked everywhere .. I mean everywhere! We had to have enough of a front yard area to house a Nativity scenes. And we finally found it .. two miles from our office. And we had been all over Tulsa looking. We were looking in places in Texas, everywhere! And I was in the car with the director and we drove by the church.” MeanTwoBookEnoughPlayFoundHouseChurchCarFrontsSceneDirectorsOfficeAreasMilesTexasYardsPivotalBooks And MoviesNativityTulsa Author:Luka Magnotta

“I think a book that is over 400 pages should be split in two. I don't know that there's anything that interesting that can go on for 700 pages. I think that is a little bit indulgent.” ThinkingKnowsShouldLittlesTwoBookBitsInterestingGoes OnLittle BitPagesSplits Author:Chris Abani
“My mom taught me to read when I was two or three. When I was five I read and wrote well enough to do my nine-year older brother's homework in exchange for chocolate or cigarettes. By the time I was 10, I was reading Orwell, Tolstoy's War and Peace, and the Koran. I was reading comic books too.” YearsWellsTwoBookWarEnoughThreeReadingFiveTaughtBrotherMomMy MomNineComicChocolateCigaretteComic BookHomeworkNine YearsOlder Brother Author:Chris Abani
“I didn't write professionally at first. It took me nine years to get anything published. At the beginning I mostly wrote picture books, which were rejected by every children's book publisher in America. The first book of mine to be accepted for publication was ELLA ENCHANTED, and not one but two publishers wanted it. That day, April 17, 1996, was one of the happiest in my life.” WritingYearsFirstsChildrenTwoBookWantedAmericaMinesAcceptedNineRejectedPublishersAprilPublicationEnchantedNine YearsChildren's BooksPicture Books Author:Gail Carson Levine
