Colin Firth, on reading:
When I'm really into a novel, I'm seeing the world differently during that time — not just for the hour or so in the day when I get to read.
I'm actually walking around in a bit of a haze, spellbound by the book and looking at everything through a different prism.
- Colin Firth.
