Andrea Seigel Quotes

I'm definitely very interested in doing female narrators that aren't typically feminine or emotional or soft - especially teenage girls - because I have such a hard time relating to so many of them that I read. They feel psychologically cuter to me than I ever was.

Most regrettable. His taste should not be consulted; it is being formed.
