I was enamored with Charles Dickens as a kid, and his names blew me away.

My neighborhood in South London was very Dickensian.

I didn't want to be stuck in Dickens period dramas because then I would never know if I was any good.

We were put to Dickens as children but it never quite took. That unremitting humanity soon had me cheesed off.

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.

I'm not a Dickens guy. In grad school I had to take at least one course on the Victorians, so I took The Later Dickens, because that was what there was.

I'm totally obsessed with Dickens, and 'Great Expectations' was one of the first book's I read when I was still in school in Porthcawl.

I was brought up on Dickens. I remember reading 'Bleak House' but, coming back to it, I didn't remember much about it apart from a few characters.

I love Dickens. I love the way he sets a scene.

Early on, I was so impressed with Charles Dickens. I grew up in the South, in a little village in Arkansas, and the whites in my town were really mean, and rude. Dickens, I could tell, wouldn't be a man who would curse me out and talk to me rudely.
