Gregory Maguire Book Quotations

I never write a book unless I can't help it. Something has to bother me, like a mosquito, until I have to do something to relieve the itch.

When I write a book, I write very cleanly from page one to the last page. I hardly ever write out of sequence.

Of course. You get everything from books.

I had written childrens books for 14 years before I published Wicked. And none of them were poorly reviewed, and none of them sold enough for me to be able to buy a bed.

Books fall open, you fall in. When you climb out again, you're a bit larger than you used to be.
