I see a light in the kitchen. Let us not deprive Molly any longer of the chance to deplore how thin you are.
J. K. RowlingYou lose your individuality a huge amount when you have no money, and I certainly had that experience.
J. K. RowlingThere is plenty of ambitious competition and hypocrisy in the middle class, which makes it a rather fertile environment for a writer.
J. K. RowlingI don't feel quite normal if I haven't written for a while. I doubt I will ever again write anything as popular as the "Harry" books, but I can live with that thought quite easily. By the time I stop writing about Harry, I will have lived with him for 13 years, and I know it's going to feel like a bereavement. So I'll probably take some time off to grieve, and then on with the next book!
J. K. RowlingI've got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before 'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls.
