I have a rule that I don’t read my press, but then somebody in the crew will be reading it and of course it’s right there, so what do you think I do?

I didn’t read at all until I was 12. I just couldn’t. It was too frustrating.

Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later...

I read the same amount of nonfiction and fiction.

Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games. I love this kind of world, so to be able to work in it is a dream. I...

A classic is read not to enjoy but only to be boast about it.

I think you can do a lot, like describing people with their physical characteristics, things like that, but to me, I’ve always found it to be a much more informative question to ask somebody what...

I can read a lot of French newspapers with Google Translate and have them read quite comfortably.

I don’t buy the tabloids, but you’re surrounded by it all and people tell you things they’ve read. I’d be sitting on a train looking over someone’s shoulder and thinking: That’s familiar… oh my God,...

In cyberspace, 95 per cent of what you read is hearsay.

What I would do is a 10-minute short of some kind on video, and if it’s good enough, you get it passed around town and just get some attention, so then they’ll read what you...

I probably read 100 times more than I write, but that way when I move my characters through it, I know.

I thought of the one thing about home that I missed, my dad’s study with its built-in, floor-to-ceiling shelves sagging with thick biographies and the black leather chair that kept me just uncomfortable enough to...

I read the comics long before I was ever involved with the films.

Dinosaurs are the jumper cables to the human mind. Kids can’t curb their enthusiasm when they’re in a hall of dinosaurs and mammoths and mammoth hunters and trilobites and giant fish that could chomp up...

These programs and reading series are the fruit of an intellectually exhausted literacy industry that lost its way long ago, even as we mutely accepted its misguided agenda – to complicate reading and literacy so...

It has never been necessary for me to learn how to read music.

If the bible be true, God commanded his chosen people to destroy men simply for the crime of defending their native land. They were not allowed to spare trembling and white-haired age, nor dimpled babes...

At the breakfast table we are footnoting everything that we read. We don’t recognise it as such but we encounter an article in the newspaper and then suddenly we recall that a friend had a...

I’ve read short stories that are as dense as a 19th century novel and novels that really are short stories filled with a lot of helium.
