Quote

The only imaginative fiction being written today is income tax returns.

I can think of a number of things more interesting to read about than tax law, but few things affect our lives more.

That taxes may be the ostensible cause is true, but that they are the true cause is as far remote from truth as light from darkness.

I spent a lot of time writing about tax and pensions and mortgages.

First of all, writing at best - certainly fiction writing - more and more I think is magic.

You know, as fiction writers, if our instincts are off, we can't pay our bills.

Fiction makes your dreams come true, and, as a writer, fiction allows you to delve into the area of miracles.

Most fiction comes from your experience.

When I write, I get glimpses into future novels.
