Quote

Anything that I read, I read because I'm interested in it.

All of my books now come from readers' ideas.

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'd pretty much given up hope of being published, so I just wrote the book I wanted to read.

I'd park myself in the bookstore and read with one eye on everyone coming in. I remember reading a Robert Bly book of poetry.

If someone wrote it and it had a peculiar twist, I've read it.

Ultimately, in my mind, that's what I'm trying to do with my fiction; I'm trying to transport my reader into a different world.

Whatever I'm reading at the moment seems to influence whatever I'm writing.

What would have become of me if no one had wanted to read my books? And don't forget all those who have written of me.

I would see anything by Antony Gormley.
