The art of Good Eating has two essential points: one must eat only when one is hungry, and one must take small bites.

When I wrote my book I wanted to love someone. I wanted to be in love. Now I know that I shall never be in love - and I no longer wish to be.

I write every day. Writing is a necessity - like eating.
