J.K. Rowling, on reading and imagination:

I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books.

But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.

J.K. Rowling, on writing:

 

Writing for me is a kind of compulsion,
so I don't think anyone could have made me do it,
or prevented me from doing it.
