Quote

I sometimes read on the subway, but I'm a hopeless eavesdropper and get easily distracted by strangers' conversations.

People who have seen me read usually come up afterwards and invite me to be a part of something.

I read the 'New York Post' every day. It keeps me connected to my home town even when I am on the road.

I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

I live in a country where I'd say nine out of ten people know me when I walk through the streets. There's people taking pictures, there's tabloids trying to make up stories. I'm used to that. The same thing when I'm in Australia or the U.K.: I get stopped.

People read stuff over your shoulder when you're in public, and when you write the kind of stuff I do, and people read it over your shoulder, it makes you a little self-conscious.

There are people out there who will not read books, but somehow they'll read my books.

Seeing people who are actually reading your book and listening to the wide variety of reactions they have to it, is really special.

I do work-related stuff on airplanes. Then, when I'm in the hotel room or just vegging out, I read for pleasure.

When you read, I'm sure you don't realize that your eyes are going backwards and forwards and to this place and that place. Mine don't do that.
