A little tantrum in real life seems so much bigger online.
Joanne Harris
The battle of good and evil reduced to a fat woman standing in front of a chocolate shop, saying, Will I? Won’t I? in pitiful indecision.
Joanne Harris
I carried recipes in my head like maps.
Joanne Harris
I don't think I've ever had a mentor. The closest thing is my friend Christopher Fowler, another writer. Chris kept me sane for a long time before I made it.

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
Some things can be both real and imaginary at the same time, . . . some lies can be true, . . . broken faith may be restored.
Joanne Harris
Anything based on ancient texts is difficult for a modern reader to get their head around.
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
Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end.
Joanne Harris
I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.
Joanne Harris
I think everybody has a secret life.
Joanne Harris
I speak as I must and cannot be silent.
Joanne Harris
Anything that can be dreamed is true.
Joanne Harris
We came in the wind of the carnival. A wind of change, or promises. The merry wind, the magical wind, making March hares of everyone, tumbling blossoms and coat-tails and hats rushing towards summer in a frenzy of exuberance.
