Anna Todd

“I love 'Fifty Shades' and 'Twilight' both.”

“I think back to what Landon said about heartbreak, that if you don’t love the person, they can’t break your heart. Hardin repeatedly breaks my heart, even when I don’t think there are any more pieces to break.And I love him. I love Hardin.”

“Just for me - obviously, not all writers think this - but for me, I feel like seeing my book in Target and Barnes & Noble is pretty successful.”

“Love fanfic or hate it, it's getting thousands of people to read and write who otherwise would not have.”

“I like to write characters that feel like people that I would know.”

“'Through The Dark' - for sure, that's my favorite One Direction song.”

“Fan fictions are an alternate universe.”

“There's nothing like meeting a girl at a signing and her telling me that she loves reading now, and she's even writing her own stories.”

“The worst part of being okay is that okay is far from happy.”

“I think I'm lucky, in a way, because with the criticism I get online, it's mostly from really young girls that are fans of One Direction, and they're kind of already known for being mean online. So the things that they insult me with are things that don't really bother me.”

“It's good that I've put out different books apart from 'After' - and before the film comes out.”

“I'm inspired by the mission of Free2Luv; they are giving a voice to people who need it, and they are so passionate about what they stand for.”

“I got married at 18 after dating my boyfriend for about a year. It was quick, I know. My husband joined the Army, and I thought I'd go to college. But we moved to Fort Hood for his job with no money, not even a car.”

“The Internet can help you come out of your shell and gives you a chance to make friends who have the same passion as you, it's a real community.”

“I bring out the worst in you and you bring out the best in me.”

“Since I don't outline my books very much, I feel like sometimes I don't have a choice in what the characters do; they just kind of take over sometimes.”

“Everyone has an opinion, and it seems that the negative voices can be the loudest, but I chose to focus on the positive comments from readers.”

“I've been reading fanfiction before I even realized what fanfiction was.”

“I remember seeing stories on Wattpad with five million reads and thinking, 'That must be incredible.'”

“Far from a normal-functioning relationship, but normal has never been our thing.”
