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.

The Internet is allowing us to get back to what's really more natural, which is that storytelling is a shared thing. It's our natural way to be communal.

I've never been much of a joiner.
