Very few of my characters are based on people I've known. It is too constricting.
From Julian Barnes
Reading is a majority skill but a minority art. Yet nothing can replace the exact, complicated, subtle communion between absent author and entranced, present reader.
There will always be non-readers, bad readers, lazy readers - there always were.
I'm a novelist, so I can't write about ideas unless they're attached to people.
All bad things are exaggerated in the middle of the night. When you lie awake, you only think of bad things.
I'm a complete democrat in terms of who buys my books.
