For women, the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.

I don't think of literature as an end in itself. It's just a way of communicating something.

And I am not one of those women who trips twice over the same stone.

Dying is not easy. It's a very hard transition.

I was a lousy journalist. I could never be objective. Sometimes I invented the whole story.

fiction happens in the belly, it doesn't happen in the brain.

The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
