Everyone has a book inside of them - but it doesn't do any good until you pry it out.

Gay rights is not something most of us think about - because most of us happen to have been born straight.

In books, you always know what's coming next. There are no surprises.

Is it really worth dying for the person you love?

I woke up one morning thinking about wolves and realized that wolf packs function as families. Everyone has a role, and if you act within the parameters of your role, the whole pack succeeds, and when that falls apart, so does the pack.

Gay teenagers are four times a...

Gay teenagers are four times as likely to attempt suicide as straight ones. I wish they knew that there's nothing wrong with them; that they are just a different shade of normal.

I consider myself spiritual and I'm married to a man who is both an atheist and a humanist, and my kids have been raised with the traditions of different religions, but they do not go to church or temple. My feeling is that everyone should be able to believe what they want or need to believe.

Researching 'Lone Wolf,' I was amazed at how thoughtful and intelligent these animals are. There has never been a documented attack against a human by a wolf that wasn't provoked by the human.

I write adult fiction, but a good 40 to 50 per cent of my readers are teenagers. I love that if they have to grow up and move past JK Rowling they can move to me. From Jo to Jodi!

You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Instead of plotting the demise of the traditional family, as some politicians and religious leaders would have you believe, gay people mow their lawns and watch 'American Idol' and video their children's concerts and have the same hopes and dreams that their straight counterparts do.

Read a ton. Take a workshop course so you learn to give and get criticism.

I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.

Most people in America want an easy read. I call it McFiction - books which pass right through you without you even digesting them. I don't mean a book that has two-syllable words. I mean chapters you can read in a toilet break. Happy endings. We are more of a TV culture.

Writing is total grunt work. A lot of people think it's all about sitting and waiting for the muse. I don't buy that. It's a job. There are days when I really want to write, days when I don't. Every day I sit down and write.

I am an activist. I have a really big pulpit with my fiction and I love knowing that I can make people think.

Many of my books come from what if questions that I can't answer, things that I'm worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American.

My first job was as an assistant in the local library. Self-fulfilling prophecy?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When I think about writers who use fiction as social commentary and to raise social awareness but who are also very popular, I think of Dickens.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I'm the kind of person you want to kill. I had an incredibly happy childhood. I married a terrific guy when I was 23. I have great, well-adjusted kids. Sometimes my husband and I look at each other and do a little jig in the kitchen. This is the best life.
