Many children's writers don't have children of their own.
From Mark Haddon
Science and literature give me answers. And they ask me questions I will never be able to answer.
Writing for children is bloody difficult; books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts, and they should therefore be accorded the same respect.
You make a film you feel is as real as possible and hope people react as though it were real.
I thought Bill Bryson's 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' was remarkable. Managing to be entertaining while still delivering all that hard science was a pretty good trick to pull off.
I like poetry when I don't quite understand why I like it. Poetry isn't just a question of wrapping something up and giving it to someone else to unwrap. It just doesn't work like that.
I've always really enjoyed writing different things because I get bored very easily.
I think good books have to make a few people angry.
