  • I often visit Maria Tatar's 'The Grimm Reader' for a cold dose of courage. Her translations come from the Brothers Grimm, whose now-famous collection of 'Kinder- und Hausmarchen' ('Children's and Household Tales') was first published in 1812. The book was not intended for young readers. -- Kate Bernheimer
  • The spark for 'In Praise of Slowness' came when I began reading to my children. Every parent knows that kids like their bedtime stories read at a gentle, meandering pace. But I used to be too fast to slow down with the Brothers Grimm. I would zoom through the classic fairy tales, skipping lines, paragraphs, whole pages. -- Carl Honore
  • Getting the role in '300' saved me. I'd been out of work for 11 months after 'The Brothers Grimm.'

It was pretty appalling, and I had started to wonder if I'd ever get another job again when I was asked to audition for '300.' -- Lena Headey
