Marie Lu Quotes

American - Author | 1984 -

I've always had this interest in sibling relationships because I don't have any siblings.

Myself Together Writing Start Think

I've always been interested in exploring the concept of child prodigies. When I was younger, I wrote a story about Mozart as a child, and I just always loved this idea of young people who are able to take control of their lives and bring a whole lot of change at such a young age.

Change Age Child People Control

On the one hand, I'm so relieved that I've actually managed to finish my very first series and that I've been able to see my characters through to the end of their journeys. On the other hand, I feel like how parents must feel when they send their kid off to college. It's a bittersweet mix.

Parents College End Feel Hand See

What can I say: I'm a writer - I enjoy forcing pain and suffering on my characters!
