The Labour Party of today has fits of horrors of the very thought of somebody like me might saying that they bought in white Australia. But I believe they did.

I am writing a sequel to The Touch because I want to further explore the Chinese question that I have raised. There will be more about that in a sequel.

In The Touch, the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else Ive ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination.

If you love people, they kill you. If you need people, they kill you. They do I tell you!

... the most insoluble problems are those which by their very nature can have no space within them for dreams.

..the best is only bought at the cost of great pain...or so says the legend

The lovely thing about being forty is that you can appreciate twenty-five-year-old men more.
