I love comics. All I've been doing is reading every day, sitting in the house. Because I've not been feeling too good, so I've been reading and reading. (Adams Phillip)
“I hadn't read the novel Bleak House . I'd read Dickens, but not this novel. I'd read several of his great novels, though I think it's different if you read them when you're young. You appreciate the storytelling, the stand-out characters, but you don't appreciate his ability as a writer, the depth of his humanity. He writes about everything, the rich, the poor, the prisons, the law courts, the country houses, the orphans and the families. I read the script for Bleak House and I was tentative about it. I'd told the producers, 'I don't do television.' But they charmed me and I did actually read the novel. I was captivated.” (Adams Phillip)

“I don't think my books would've have been as successful as they are if the readers didn't think they were in the hands of a true crazy person. When I start a story, I don't know where it's going.” (Adams Phillip)
I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me. (Adams Phillip)
The larger things that this book — and all my books — revolve around are a woman’s id, … And how she defines herself in the world around her. … I’ve always been interested in issues of what has been defined as maternity and how it’s changed. … For both Kate and Kitty, they’re twins in a way; I didn’t want to whack the reader over the head with it, but with Kate, her mother was the sun that everything revolves around, and for Kitty, it was about a mother that wasn’t there. (Adams Phillip)
The truth of it is that most novels that go to Hollywood don’t get optioned, … And most novels that get optioned never get made. And of the ones that do get made, it’s not always something that the writer’s happy with. And I’m so happy with this movie. (Adams Phillip)

I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves. (Adams Phillip)
I wrote a few children's books... not on purpose. (Adams Phillip)
I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done. (Adams Phillip)
A book is never a masterpiece: it becomes one. Genius is the talent of a dead man. (Adams Phillip)
