I don't think they'll ever make a retro Bond.
From William Boyd
I can bore for England on the subject of James Bond. But I knew I couldn't do it frivolously; I had to take it very seriously, however much fun I was having. And I had to make myself, you know, absolutely steeped in Bond and in Fleming and that world.
There's a sense in all my novels that nothing is certain.
When you experience bereavement at a youngish age, you suddenly realise that life is unjust and unfair, that bad things will happen, and you have to take that on board.
My novels are often about people who are in love or attracted to each other.
Human beings are interested in the human condition.
I have this lock of hair that keeps falling across my forehead. It drives me mad.
I tend to admire dead people more than the living. All too often, human reality diminishes the glowing reputation.
I let people off the hook too easily.
The last thing you know about yourself is your effect.
