When I go on holiday and people ask me what I do, I tell them I do some internet stuff and I've done a couple of books and I hope they just leave it at that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most people travel with a good book, but I also keep my agenda with me; I'll flip through the pages and take a few moments to organize my life a little - I rarely get the time to do this normally.
I'm not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I'm on holiday. I do enough shopping when I'm at home, and like to have a complete break when I'm away.
You can say you're going to take a vacation, and you can even take the time, but you might as well not, because the book is still sitting in your head.
I spend much too much time on the Web with e-mail and surfing and reading my key sites, and a whole day can go by, and you wonder, 'What did I do today?'
I get ideas for my books from people I know and what happens to them, from places I've been and what happens to me, and from things I read.
I get up in the morning, do my e-mail, I check my e-mails all day. I'll go online and I'll buy my books at Amazon.com, but I don't want to buy all of them because I want to go to Duttons and I want to buy books from another human being.
Trust me: I've been travelling, making movies, and spending the remainder of my time at home.
I don't normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.
People sometimes think that I bring home all these old books because I'm addicted, that I'm no better than a hoarder with a houseful of crumbling newspapers.
People say I don't write books, I make Christmas presents.
