My only fantasy about writing was that in my old days, after directing many masterpieces, I would write my memoirs.

I will carry on writing, to be sure. But I don't know if I would want to publish again after Harry Potter.

I looked back at the years since I'd left college and thought of the list of things I'd have liked to do. I'd always wanted to write a book - not a small undertaking. I never felt I had the time or creative energy to spare in order to write one as well as I wanted.

I don't think I'd have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.

I wrote as a kid, but I never wanted to be a writer, particularly. I had been drawing and painting for years and loved that.

Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.

I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face.

I had been writing fiction since I was in eighth grade, because I loved it.

Writing allows me the time to travel and see the world, which is what I always wanted to do. I'd really like to have been Sir Richard Francis Burton, but it's the wrong century.
