The saddest thing about myself is that I never read a book. I never got the habit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.
I have an existential crisis every time I walk into a bookshop, knowing that I'm not going to read all the books before I die.
I don't mind what people say about me. I've never read a book about myself.
When I look for self-help books for myself, I used to be scared that I was going to pick up a book that would depress me even more.
I never read. I've never read one book... I just can't do it. Something's wrong with me. I have what they call now is 'ADD,' like I'll read and all of a sudden I'll be thinking about shopping or... I'm not there. I drift off. I get crazy, so I don't even bother.
I cry in movies a lot, and over books.
When you buy my books, you kind of know what you're in for. It's kind of self-selecting. If you have a delicate sensibility, and you're easily grossed out, you probably will never read one of my books.
I decided if I couldn't be a writer, my life would be miserable. I had this imaginary room of references to all the books I had read, a kind of bubble, in which I lived.
I can no more reread my own books than I can watch old home movies or look at snapshots of myself as a child. I wind up sitting on the floor, paralyzed by grief and nostalgia.
I always feel sad when I come to the end of a book.
