I'm omnivorous in my tastes, fiction and non-fiction, always several books on the go, though I'll read a novel in a day or two.
I have been attacked in Turkey more for my interviews than for my books. Political polemicists and columnists do not read novels there.
I read very widely, both non-fiction and fiction, so I don't think there's a single writer who influences me.
I'm not the lovable, wonderful, tenderhearted grandfather that you read about in books. I'm grouchy and curmudgeonly, and I have a lot of rules.
When I read a script, I try not to judge the characters. I try to have an open mind and really see what it makes me feel.
I'm living out a childhood fantasy. Our house is in a historic district of a small town that I used to read about in storybooks.
I think you can tell when you meet someone whether they read novels. There's some hollowness if they don't.
I didn't stutter when I was reading lines in a script. When I got away from myself, I didn't have that problem.
I would hate to die for a lot of reasons. But mostly because of all the books I haven't yet read.
Reading a fantasy book is a commitment...a commitment to adventure...a commitment to bravery. You make that commitment and you reap the benefits...of epicness.
You write out of experience, and a large part of that experience is the life of the spirit; reading is the liberation into the minds of others.
There were the people who read and there were the others. Whether you were a reader or a nonreader--it was quickly noted. There was no greater distinction between people.
I read an article that said one in five Americans thinks Elvis is alive. I want to find those morons and get them registered to vote for me.
I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.
A friend hipped me to hypoglycemia, which an article I read calls 'a disease for a nation of sugar junkies.' Who knows how many people in this country have it?
No one can command over the images of your mind but an Author can and if you won't believe on me then read my book.
... just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul.
I have a visual mind, so when I read a book, I get an instant picture in my head and it's very clear.
There's editing, and scripts to read and edit, and casting, and all the elements of production that just sort of take up the normal downtime that you would have as an actor. So there's not a lot of that for me.
I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.
One of my comics is read by more people - around 70,000 - than will see my entire run at Manhattan Theater Club. That puts things in perspective.
