FEATURING: J. K. Rowling Quotes

Born 31 July 1965

Joanne Kathleen Rowling, writer

"When you dream, you can do what you like."



"The mere fact of being able to say I was a published author was the fulfillment of a dream I’ve had since I was a very young child."



"I get bored with my life. I prefer inventing things."



"I was happier as an impoverished and unpublished writer than I have ever been as a solvent and mediocre executive."



"I write anytime, anyplace, and in longhand."



"I can remember being a kid and being very powerless and having this whole underworld that to adults is always going to be impenetrable. I think that I have very vivid memories of how it felt to be Harry’s age."



"From the moment I had the idea for the book, I could see a lot of comic potential in the idea that wizards walk among us."



"All I ever wanted was for somebody to publish Harry so I could go to bookshops and see it."



"I was not the most secure person. I was someone with not much self belief and yet I felt, "I can tell a story."
