Gisteren was Zij die niet genoemd mag worden een guest editor bij Women’s Hour van BBC Radio 4. Tijdens haar interview sprak ze over vanalles en nog wat, zoals hoe ze omging met de beroemdheid in de beginjaren van Harry’s succes, de dood van haar moeder en de rol die rugby in haar leven speelt. Hier kan je alles volledig beluisteren.
Een paar interessante quotes:
“Yes, my mother didn’t know, she never knew about Harry Potter – I started writing it six months before she died, so that is painful. I wish she’d known. My mother was a passionate reader, and she would have been excited whatever I did, if I succeeded at anything, but particularly to be a writer, she would have considered that to be a very valuable thing.?
“I grew up in a house where my father and male relatives were all football supporters and I was used to watching football on TV. It’s not until I married a Scot that I was taken – not entirely willingly – to the rugby. And then I accidentally ended up enjoying the rugby.”
“I would be a liar if I said I don’t care. I found it very difficult, when I first became well-known, to read criticism about how I looked, how messy my hair was, and how generally unkempt I looked…”
Dit maakt weer eens duidelijk hoe down-to-earth Zij die niet genoemd mag worden nog steeds is, zelfs na al haar succes!
