Quote

It blows my mind that anyone could be unkind to anyone.

I don't think I'm an unkind person, I don't think my books are unkind, and I don't think my readers are unkind.

Unkindness is quite a major sin.

I don't want to be liked. I want to be respected.

I'm not always so nice.

I have no interest in anyone who wants to criticise me, or doesn't like me despite never having met me.

I do not enjoy when people don't like me.

I am not generally regarded as a pleasant or socially minded fellow.
