I just love dialects; they're really fun.

I love learning about different dialects and I own all sorts of regional and time-period slang dictionaries. I often browse through relevant ones while writing a story. I also read a lot of diaries and oral histories.

I've always been in love with language. My favorite book is a dictionary. I have always loved words.

I've always had a penchant for dialects. I remember getting detention and being told, 'Have a think about where doing these funny voices might get you someday.'

I love language, and I love the failure of language.

I have an acquired taste for language, yet it is seldom an actual focus of mine.

I have my own vocabulary. I love linguistics. That surprises people.

I love English. I learned it from the speeches of Winston Churchill.

I appreciate people who try and use language in an interesting way.

I grew up in a house where language was appreciated and cared about. I'm sure that, although I wasn't aware of it at the time, it must have made an impression on me.
