"Interview with Bestselling Author John Green: Crash Course in Community Building and Content Creation". Interview with Heike Young, www.exacttarget.com. October 7, 2014.

The challenge is the same whether or not I'm collaborating: to empathize with your reader and to tell a story that will matter to him or her. But the mechanics of going about that challenge change when you're collaborating, because you have someone to help refine your thinking and expand your vision of what might happen.

"John Green and David Levithan". Interview with Kate Pritchard, bookpage.com. April, 2010.

All good American literature is always interested in people who are ambiguously heroic, like Gatsby.

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

If we restructure things to see that the hero's journey is a degree in astrophysics rather than a journey to star in a reality show, that's a better world.

I think people who are religious are more likely to want one around, but it's a very secular position.

Religious, Thinking, People

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

I don't think ministering requires a religious context. The number one thing is that every parent is extremely worried about their kid. Of course, when a chaplain shows up, that can exacerbate this worry rather than calm it.

Religious, Kids, Thinking

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

One of the jobs of a writer is to add nuance and ambiguity to that straight line that people often draw to very specific kinds of heroism. Most of us don't get to be Snooki. For most of us heroism has to be in our everyday lives.

Becoming a father made me much more interested in the parent character in my novels. I've never found parents that interesting.

Father, Character, Interesting

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

I think when you're 16, if you have good parents, they generally just fade in the background. I had great parents, and because they were great, I thought very little about them in high school.

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

The universe is biased toward consciousness because the universe wants to be noticed. It's a way into existential hope that doesn't have too much cliché wrapped around it.

Too Much, Way, Want

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

I think that it's a universal urge to have our pain not be felt alone and to have our joys not be felt alone.

Pain, Thinking, Joy

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

I think all true stories are hopeful stories. I don't think there's any room for nihilism.

Thinking, Hopeful, Nihilism

Interview with Jade Chang, www.goodreads.com. December, 2012.

The miracle and hope of human consciousness is that we can still conceive of boundlessness.

"This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl". Book by Esther Earl, Lori Earl and Wayne Earl, January 28, 2014.

When we think of death, we often imagine it as happening in degrees: We think of a sick person becoming less and less alive until finally they are gone.

All the characters are made out of words. With reading, I understand that the people aren't real but the fact that they are made out of language and are made out of words is extremely powerful to me. It becomes transformative for me. Different people have different ways of trying to make stories using language.

"The Fault in Our Stars' John Green on Why He Loves Writing For Teens". Interview with Ryan Roschke, www.popsugar.com. March 31, 2015.

Teenagers are extremely funny, and extremely clever and intellectually curious. But they're also willing to ask questions about the meaning of life without disguising them around irony, and ask questions about what are our responsibilities to other people without having to couch it in irony.

"Crash Course in Community Building and Content Creation". Interview with Heike Young, www.marketingcloud.com. October 6, 2014.

I think teenagers bring a lot of intellectual sophistication. They're wrestling with big questions. It's just that, a lot of times they do that separately from adults.

"The Fault in Our Stars' John Green on Why He Loves Writing For Teens". Interview with Ryan Roschke, www.popsugar.com. March 31, 2015.

I change my keyboard between every book. I usually shop around. I'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. It's got to have the right springiness. I tend to find the built-in keys very unsatisfying, the keys are low-profile and don't really do anything - I want it to feel like I'm typing.
