I didn't read at all until I was 12. I just couldn't. It was too frustrating.

I didn't learn how to read until I was at the end of fifth grade and 11 years old and held back.

By the time I was 12, I was reading my parents' books because there weren't teenage books then.

When I was 8, I was reading 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Pride and Prejudice' and all that, not knowing it wasn't my reading level.

I read to my kid, but I can't stand reading.

I read my sister's diary when I was 7. She was, I think, 13. It was awful to read it.

Of course, I've always read. I started when I was four years old and just didn't stop. I read all the time.

I'm not as well read as I was when I was younger - I just devoured books.

I grew up in a house full of books and parents who read, which led to me to reading from a very young age. And reading seemed to naturally progress to writing.

I was a reader as a child, believe it or not.
