Books

Children simply don't make the distinction; a book is either good or bad. And some of the books they think are good are very, very bad indeed.

I started writing books for children because I could illustrate them myself and because, in my innocence, I thought they'd be easier.

I loved to read when I was a kid, and as soon as I realized that an actual person got to make up the books I loved so much, I decided that that was the job for me.

The deadlines are much, much longer with books. When I was a reporter, a lot of times I'd come in at 8:30 a.m., get an assignment right away, interview somebody, turn the story in by 9:30, and have the finished story in the paper that landed on my desk by noon.

Writing became an obsessive compulsive habit but I had almost no money so I thought about being an urban firefighter and having lots of free time in which to write or becoming an English teacher and thinking about books and writers on a daily basis. That swayed me.

I've loved science fiction ever since I was a little kid, mainly from looking at the covers of science-fiction magazines and books, and I've read quite extensively as an adult.

I love the idea that we put in jokes the kids don't get. And that later, when they grow up and read a few books and go to college and watch the show again, they can get it on a completely different level.

Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail.

I am a really big Harry Potter fan and I've seen all the sets, I've lived Harry Potter and I don't think it's destroyed the books at all, I think it's really spot on.

But I like all the books. You've got to read them all to get the complete Harry Potter experience.

Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.
