I don't categorize myself as an 85-year-old woman who has written an erotic novel. I categorize myself as a writer who's written an erotic novel.

I like to repaint rooms, to redecorate. My dream would be to have pieds-à-terre in various places.

I don't like cold people at all. It makes me feel really insecure.
