"I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters I am not. I write to explore all the things I’m affraid of."

"When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a woman."

"There’s a time and place for everything, and I believe it’s called ‘fan fiction’."

"I feel like—I don’t know. Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough, but apart from the Internet, I don’t know where I belong."

"I also felt that Ron and Hermione would have gotten divorced. I’m sorry, I just do. The end of Harry Potter did feel ultimately to me…just the fact everybody had married everybody. The books were so real and so grounded in what things are really like when you’re that age, she nailed that so beautifully. And then there was this slightly fantastical ending. I know that was there for her to say, ‘Really, I mean it, no more books,’ but you do sort of go, people who were in a war are different from people who haven’t been, and how does it affect them? But I’m going to second-guess my favorite writer? I think not."
