Well, Iโve learnt this much: it doesnโt matter what it costs, itโs worth paying the price. You canโt live cheap and you canโt live for nothing. Pay the price and be proud youโve paid it, thatโs what I reckon.
John MarsdenThere's no room for anything else. You forget that you're tired or cold or hungry. You forget that banged-up knee and your aching tooth. You forget the past, and you forget that there's such a thing as a future.

John MarsdenWriting is not a job or activity. Nor do I sit at a desk writing for inspiration to strike. Writing is like a different kind of existence. In my life, for some of the time, I am in an alternative world, which I enter through day-dreaming or imagination. That world seems as real to me as the more tangible one of relationships and work, cars and taxes. I don't know that they're much different from each other.
