I think trying to be cool is the worst possible ambition - and I have never suffered from it.

The appropriation of radical thinking by lazy, self-obsessed hippies is a public relations disaster that could cost the earth.

I try hard not to preach, but I get carried away, which is a mistake, but it's a risk worth running.

I'm lucky because the strongest emotion I have ever felt is being in love, and that definitely informs my writing.

If only the strength of the love that people feel when it is reciprocated could be as intense and obsessive as the love we feel when it is not; then marriages would be truly made in heaven.

No collection of people who are all waiting for the same thing are capable of holding a natural conversation. Even if the thing they are waiting for is only a taxi.

I think it is very difficult to legislate for morality.
