J. K. Rowling

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous....You know I didn't think they'd rake through my bins, I didn't expect to be photographed on the beach through long lens.

And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
