More quotes by Joanne Harris
I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.
Joanne Harris
And so Nat stood up and joined the group, and followed, and watched, and awaited his chance as the light of Chaos lit the plain and gods and demons marched to war.
Joanne Harris
The great thing about books is that you can end with a question mark.
Joanne Harris
What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence?
Joanne Harris

Joanne Harris
Clones fit in. Freaks stand out. Ask me which one I prefer.
Joanne Harris
Everything comes home, my mother used to say every word spoken, every shadow cast, every footprint in the sand. It can't be helped it's part of what makes us who we are.
Joanne Harris
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.

But I rather thought--I mean, I heard you'd killed Balder the Fair. I never did, snapped Loki crossly. Well, no one ever proved I did. What happened to the presumption of innocence? Besides, he was supposed to be invulnerable. Was it my fault that he wasn't?
Joanne Harris
A little tantrum in real life seems so much bigger online.
Joanne Harris
I don't tend to do category fiction very well. One of my problems when I was starting off was that publishers were hesitant to handle my books because they were never sure what I was going to do next.
Joanne Harris
Children are knives, my mother once said. They don’t mean to, but they cut. And yet we cling to them, don’t we, we clasp them until the blood flows.
Joanne Harris
I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.
Joanne Harris
I'm not fond of cities: the constant activity and swarms of people.
Joanne Harris
One of the things that writing has taught me is that fiction has a life of its own. Fictional places are sometimes more real than the view from our bedroom window. Fictional people can sometimes become as close to us as our loved ones.
Joanne Harris
The dead know everything but they don't give a damn.
Joanne Harris
Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end.
