Marry someone who flatters you. Because I've written 80 books since 'War Horse' but when my wife reads one, all she says is, 'It's quite good, but it's not as good as 'War Horse,' is it?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's not a good idea to put your wife into a novel; not your latest wife anyway.
It's funny - my wife is more jealous of my books than of other women because I'm always working and thinking about my books.
I'm not terribly well read. My wife forces books into my hands and insists I read them, which I'm grateful to her for. She made me read 'War and Peace.' The whole thing. It was amazing, but I had to hide it. You can't walk round reading 'War and Peace' - it's like you're in a comedy sketch and you think you're smart.
Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.
What is compelling with 'War Horse' is the jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring craftsmanship in this movie.
My girlfriend has read all the 'Game of Thrones' books - twice.
Books and marriage go ill together.
Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.
There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.
I've never seen anyone deal in a literary way with what it takes to stay married for more than 50 years, and that seemed like a worthy goal.
