J. K. Rowling

You sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.

My favorite literary heroine is Jo March. It is hard to overstate what she meant to a small, plain girl called Jo, who had a hot temper and a burning ambition to be a writer.

Jane Austen is the pinnacle to which all other authors aspire.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary.

It's an ear job, not an eye job.
