Ambition Quote by J. K. Rowling

“I never expected to be in the papers. I personally…” quote by J. K. Rowling — Download Open image

“I never expected to be in the papers. I personally never expected to be in the papers. The height of my ambition for these books was, well frankly, to get reviewed. A lot of children's books don't even get reviewed.. forget good review, bad review. Personally, no, I never expected to be in the papers so it's an odd experience when it happens to you .”
