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.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I've had people following me home or standing outside my house. It's strange. I just don't think people were meant to be worshipped or idolised.
