Quote

I didn't actually grow up in London.

I'd never been published when I was young.

I've never actually even contemplated writing a book or having a book.

I never set out to be a published writer.

If I'd stayed on in London and carried on going to literary parties, it would have wrecked me as a writer.

I never wrote my books especially for children.

I would normally never set out to write a trilogy.

I never even had the time to read novels.

I never wanted to be a writer.

I've never finished anything by Dickens.
