Joanne Harris
As authors, we all expect criticism from time to time, and we all have our ways of coping with unfriendly reviews.
Joanne Harris

Joanne Harris
I've never been very good at leaving things behind. I tried, but I have always left fragments of myself there too, like seeds awaiting their chance to grow.

Joanne Harris
I like literature that you respond to in some way. You laugh, you cry, you turn the light on - that's great, it's eliciting a response by proxy.
Joanne Harris
The great thing about books is that you can end with a question mark.
Joanne Harris
I can write absolutely anywhere. All I need is a laptop.
Joanne Harris
Death should be a celebration. Like a birthday. I want to go up like a rocket when my time comes, and fall down in a cloud of stars, and hear everyone go: ahh!
