Reading's not a luxury, art's not a luxury. It's about your soul, and it's about yourself. And if reading is a luxury, being human is a luxury
It wasn't until I started reading and found books they wouldn't let us read in school that I discovered you could be insane and happy and have a good life without being like everybody else.
I also read modern novels - I have just had to read 60 as I am one of the judges for the Orange Fiction Prize.
I don't pretend that I can read minds. I don't believe anybody can read minds. In other words, I don't believe in psychics.
I write in a journal first, briefly. Then read something I've read many times before, for about half an hour, then rework what I wrote the day before.
I am a passionate reader. New interested books keep adding on my reading list. My wildest dream is to complete reading all the books.
I don’t believe one reads to escape reality. A person reads to confirm a reality he knows is there, but which he has not experienced.
If I'm not afraid when I'm reading a script, that means I know I've done it before. If I read something and think, Wow, I can't play this part, then I want to play it more.
I read 'Pushing the Limit' and 'Dare You To' by Katie McGarry. Fantastic stuff. I had never read young adult before, but now I'm a believer.

Read a lot - poems, prose, stories, newspapers, anything. Read books and poems that you think you will like and some that you think might not be for you. You might be surprised.
When reading a book, you are sold what some writer thought. When reading a newspaper, you are sold what someone did, and, what some advertiser made.
She was happiest when sitting about and reading. She had read thousands of books, seeing no point in doing anything else unless you had to.
If one reads enough books one has a fighting chance. Or better, one's chances of survival increase with each book one reads.
I think that as is true in this industry, everything gets blown out of proportion because it's more fun for people to read about. It's even more fun to read about if the stories get wilder and wilder.
When someone pitches a joke for a character that is just perfect, and you can imagine that actor reading that line at your table read or on the set, it's like the sound of a snap snapping into place.
I don't like to read. The only things I read are gossip columns. If someone gives me a book, it had better have lots of pictures.
My strangest auditioning experience was when I was reading for a TV show, and right when I started the audition, the casting director left the room and yelled at me from the hallway to keep reading.
I have trouble reading modern Hebrew. In the 1950s, I could read anything. I don't know how much experience you've had with contemporary Hebrew. It's quite difficult.
