Parinaz asked Cornelia Funke:

I want to write a short story, sort of like your "Dragon Rider" book, but I don't know where to get ideas from or my inspiration. Can you give me some advice?

Mary
Mary asked Cornelia Funke:

Ms Funke, you're an excellent writer and illustrator, but is there any profession you wish you had pursued or still want to try your hand at? :o)

Natalie
Natalie asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia, I was just wondering, have you ever considered trying to turn Inkheart into a German movie? I myself am not German, but I am learning it at school and I love Germany. Could that ever be a possibility? I must say that I thoroughly love the Inkworld series and I've read it at least once every year for 6 years (I bought it when I was 10). I just think that would be really cool. Thank you!! Natalie
