I have considered rap music stars, and there is one in my new book, Lovers and Players, and there is also a hip-hop music mogul who I think you will like a lot.

I don't believe in writing anything that I don't know about or haven't researched about personally. I like to transport the reader to places, and in order to do that I have to do the research.

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.

Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.

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

Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.

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