Divination is a means of telling ourselves what we already know.

I carried recipes in my head like maps.

I am not at all a chocoholic. I would rather eat anchovy toast.

The battle of good and evil reduced to a fat woman standing in front of a chocolate shop, saying, Will I? Won’t I? in pitiful indecision.

The wind always brings us back to the same wall

What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence?

I dream a lot, in colour and in sound and scent. Quite a few of my stories have come from dreams.
