We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.

I prefer the gloominess to the sun. I don't know why.

We're made for the light of a cave and for twilight. Twilight is the time we see best. When we dim the light down, and the pupil opens, feeling comes out of the eye like touch. Then you really can feel colour, and experience it.

We've got our own daylight to get bad thoughts away, and we talk with that light - our star in our heart. We take away what's unimportant.

There's something about a humid, dusky evening that's kind of sexy.

Twilight is about getting older and relationships - not about a murder mystery. It's about love when you reach a certain age; nothing is in primary colors.

I prefer the night to the day and always stay up very late. Darkness is more peaceful, and I don't like sunshine - it hurts my eyes. When I used to live in more communal circumstances, I had to wait until everyone had gone to bed before I had the peace to write, and I still find I can get on with my writing much better at night.

It's so easy to be there when it's all sunshine, but it really takes strength and courage to be there for each other during the dark times.
