I don't like watching myself on TV, I don't like reading about myself.

My ideal summer day was reading on the porch.

When I'm reading a book, I don't notice the passing of time.

I grew up reading Shakespeare and Mark Twain.

I can only sign on the dotted line after reading the script.

I'm very much a word-centric writer, and that comes from the literature and the reading that I did as kid and also the films and mythology and stories.

I do take things away from reading reviews. I think they keep you honest.

I grew up reading comics. I was primarily an 'X-Men' fan, but I definitely dressed up as Spider-Man for Halloween when I was, like, 12 years old. Maybe younger than that.

I was reading so much about myself in the papers that was not me.

If you like reading, you are allowed to like to dance and to like to sing and to like to act.

I grew up reading 'The Jungle Books' and loving them.

If you're reading to find friends, you're in deep trouble.

And I ride horses, swim, do a lot of reading, writing.

Sometimes I work in my office, just reading material, meeting writers, working on scripts. Other times, I'm on location. There's a lot of variety.

Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.

I love reading. I'm very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.

I suppose if I was to have to pick a few, Ursula LeGuin would have to top the list. It was while reading her work that I decided I wanted to be an author.

I learned to write crime novels by reading people I hoped to emulate: people like James Lee Burke, Lawrence Block, Joseph Wambaugh, and Sue Grafton.

All the books I was reading as a teenager were about individuals having adventures. So I thought that was what writers were supposed to do: to go out on the road.

I never have time to read now. I did all my reading before I was twenty.
