A Quote by Christopher Fowler

I have never met an author who did not read voraciously as a child. — © Christopher Fowler
I have never met an author who did not read voraciously as a child.
I never met an author who admitted that people did not buy his book because it was dull.
I never read a single book as a child. I did not read as a child. I worked on the farm. I had books in the classroom, but that was it. I never read a single book outside of the classroom.
I did not feel a particularly strong call to any one subject, but read voraciously and widely and began to find science interesting.
We did not have a television while I was growing up, and so I read voraciously. My earliest memory of being utterly transfixed by a book was Madeleine L'Engle's 'A Wrinkle in Time.'

Even though I read voraciously as a child, I never saw myself in books. Without narratives to expand my ideas of who I could be, I accepted the stories others told me about myself, stories which diminished and belittled me and people like me. I want to write against that.
I have never met an author who was sorry he or she wrote a book. They are only sorry they did not write it sooner.
As a child, as far as I was concerned, my dad had an amazing job, and we had all the money we needed. My life was so fun and carefree that I didn't realize at all that we weren't rich - until I met someone rich. Still, I've never met a rich kid who grew up as happy as I did.
I read a lot, that's my main hobby. I've got an iPad which I store books on and I read voraciously. I'm a slow reader but I'm obsessive. I make references, underline things, cross-reference. I'm an autodidact.
I read pretty voraciously. If it's good, I don't care what it is.
I read The Hunger Games voraciously and was extremely annoyed when interrupted by such inconsequential things as 'Christmas dinner.' (God, Mom, did you not understand Katniss was being pursued by the mutts? You have several children, why does it always have to be about collecting the whole set all the time?)
I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.
I was a kid who did a kid show. Then I went away and raised my child, and the world has never met me as an adult.
In a sense, one can never read the book that the author originally wrote, and one can never read the same book twice.
For the only time in my career, I came in and met Tony [Richardson] for the part - I did not read, I just met with him - and in the middle of the meeting, he told me that I had the part [in The Hotel New Hampshire]. There was never, "Well, thank you, and we'll have my people call your people." There was none of that kabuki that goes on now endlessly for even the smallest role.
I never read anything concerning my work. I feel that criticism is a letter to the public which the author, since it is not directed to him, does not have to open and read.
