My biggest critics have never read me.

Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.

For a perfect holiday I need my iPhone and my writing tools. I write all my books by hand so black felt pens and yellow legal pads are a must. And my eyebrow pencil. I'm very low-maintenance.

As soon as I reach my destination I have a cup of tea, something to eat and then sleep for about 13 hours. I make that an absolute rule and I always feel fresh afterwards and never have jet lag.

I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.

Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that.

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