But I do not have the reader in mind when I write. No true writer does that

Dialogue in fiction is always written to be read in silence. The page is the limit. Dialogue on stage and on the screen is meant to be spoken. The voice is the limit.

I don't much believe in the idea of characters. I write with words, that is all. Whether those words are put in the mouth of this or that character does not matter to me

Writing for me, even what you call serious writing, is play.

For me, words are just words, nothing else

I live in London and I am a British subject, although I do write in Spanish, of course

I was an avid radio fan when I was a boy, as well as a great lover of comic strips
