I didn't fear failure. I expected failure.

I saw my mother in a different light. We all need to do that. You have to be displaced from what's comfortable and routine, and then you get to see things with fresh eyes, with new eyes.

Words to me were magic. You could say a word and it could conjure up all kinds of images or feelings or a chilly sensation or whatever. It was amazing to me that words had this power.

I was intelligent enough to make up my own mind. I not only had freedom of choice, I had freedom of expression.

It's both rebellion and conformity that attack you with success.

They didn't know who I really was. They didn't know how much the smallest amount of recognition would have meant to me and how the smallest amount of criticism could undo me.

Writing is an extreme privilege but it's also a gift. It's a gift to yourself and it's a gift of giving a story to someone.

When people measure their lives in those terms, the passion is there, the self-guidance is there, and the rewards are there. The success is always there.

My mother had a very difficult childhood, having seen her own mother kill herself. So she didn't always know how to be the nurturing mother that we all expect we should have.

She hounded me until I wrote a couple more stories and then she sold that as a collection called The Joy Luck Club.
