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

I think explicit love scenes are a turn off unless it's the kind you read with one hand.

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!

Yet there's something ominous about turning sixty-five. Suddenly old age is not a phenomenon which will occur; it has occurred.

Perfection, in anything, is unbearably dull. Myself, I prefer a touch of imperfection.

How frightening, that one person could mean so much, so many things.
