Joanne Harris Book Quotations

I've nothing against kids reading anything they please, but I do have a problem with pink books for girls and black books for boys.

I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.

Remember, it's the winners write the history books, and the losers get the leavings.

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.

The great thing about books is that you can end with a question mark.

Some books you read. Some books you enjoy. But some books just swallow you up, heart and soul.

Writing books and being paid for it - it's not like winning the Lottery. You can't suddenly go, 'Yippee!' and start throwing tenners in the air. I've done pretty well out of it, but certainly not enough to say, 'Right, that's me set up for life.'
