J.k. Rowling's quotes

• [Asked by an interviewer about the next "Harry Potter" novel] Well, it will be a papery object with pages inside.
• Bigotry is probably the thing I detest most. Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.
• I had an American journalist say to me, "Is it true you wrote the whole of the first novel on napkins?" I was tempted to say, "On teabags, I used to save them."
• I gave my hero a talent I'd love to have. Who wouldn't want to fly?
• The spells are made up. I have met people who assure me, very seriously, that they are trying to do them, and I can assure them, just as seriously, that they don't work.
• [When asked what the title would be for book six] It will be called 'Harry Potter and...' something. Catchy, don't you think? And I think I'll follow the same model for seven.
• I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.
• [At the premiere at the last Harry Potter movie (2011)] Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.
• Rock bottom became the solid foundation upon which I rebuilt my life.
• Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its mark. To have been loved so deeply will give us some protection forever.
• We don't need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already!
• Morrissey was a big deal to me when I was in my teens. A *very* big deal.
• I love: Harry, Hermione, Ron, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Ginny, Fred, George and Lupin. I love writing (though would not necessarily want to meet) Snape. My favourite new character is Luna Lovegood.
• [Harry Potter character Sirius Black] That man's got a lot of fans. Mostly female, I might add.
• 'People who menstruate.' I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?
• The long-term health risks of cross-sex hormones have been now been tracked over a lengthy period. These side-effects are often minimised or denied by trans activists.
• The Labour Party can no longer be counted on to defend women's rights.
• [on Billy Bragg] Hard to think of anything that better illustrates misogyny than men complaining that a woman has a view on woman's rights.
