I love people-watching at the clubs in Los Angeles, where girls make fools of themselves and guys pay thousands of dollars for a couple of bottles of vodka just so they can get a table. It's quite a scene.

I write synopses after the book is completed. I can't write it beforehand, because I don't know what the book's about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.

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."

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

If you want to have great sex, find a partner who really turns you on. Pills are merely props, and props can turn out to be a big drag.

I'm a storyteller; I write what I want to read.

My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.
