Reading is probably what leads most writers to writing.

Reading while I'm writing ideally inspires my competitive side. When I read great writers, I want to be a better writer.

The best way to learn about writing is to study the work of other writers you admire.

In my position you have to read when you want to write and to talk when you would like to read.

The most important thing is to read as much as you can, like I did. It will give you an understanding of what makes good writing and it will enlarge your vocabulary.

The best way to become a successful writer is to read good writing, remember it, and then forget where you remember it from.

I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.

I tell beginning readers to read a lot and write a lot. If you want to write a book, find a subject that's really worth the time and effort you'll put in.

I love reading; it's a great way to avoid writing.

I'd always been a big reader, and I loved books, and I always thought writing would be a great way to get by in the world.
