I don't have a day job, so I read any time of day.

If I couldn't read, I couldn't live.

If I could read it, I could play it.

Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.

I loved to read and would read anything that roused my interest, whether it was below my age level or above it, even if I could barely make sense of it.

I just write the books that I think I would want to read.

I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.

I read all the time. I love it. My fantasy would be to be locked into a library. I'd be very, very happy.

I always individuate myself from other writers who say they would die if they couldn't write. For me, I'd die if I couldn't read.

I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn't write? But that fortunately hasn't proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.
