I tried to write 'Trainspotting' in standard English, but people weren't talking like that.
People's lives are in the care of the railways when they get on a train. The railways should remember that.
I said that I like to write on trains and that I wished Amtrak had residencies for writers.
When I wrote 'The Girl on the Train,' nobody knew who I was, and that's quite a comfortable position to be writing in.
I've missed a lot of trains in my life, and another one always comes.
My own experience with trains dates to long-ago childhood trips with my family in Mississippi to see my grandmother off at the station in Jackson, bound for Memphis.
The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered is to miss the train before.
Ever since childhood, when I lived within earshot of the Boston and Maine, I have seldom heard a train go by and not wished I was on it.
I didn't have any concept of Trainspotting being published. It was a selfish act. I did it for myself.
Everyone else trains just as hard as well and that there really is no such a thing as overnight success.
