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.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in film not being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock because he's such a key influence on the entire history of cinema - it's hard to escape his shadow.

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.
