I wake up in the morning and I still have a passion for what I do, and I'll be doing it when I'm 105, I'll be scribbling away. If it was 100 years ago I'd be sitting by the campfire, saying, "Have I got a story to tell you."

People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.

The biggest critics of my books are the people who never read them.

My books flow. People say they pick them up and they can't put them down. It's because when I'm writing them I pick my pen up and I cannot put my pen down.

I don't like being in one place too long. Five days just about does it for me because I have a very low threshold for boredom.

A lot of people talk about writing. The secret is to write, not talk.

I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.
