This is home and home is not something you remember, it is something you see every day and every moment.

The best writers who have put pen to paper have often had a journalism background.

Most national correspondents will tell you they rely on stringers and researchers and interns and clerks and news assistants.

I have dictated stories from an airport after writing the story out in longhand on the plane that I got from phone interviews and then was applauded by editors for 'working magic.

There are these boutique writers out there who think if they are not writing their novels sitting at a bistro with their laptops, then they're not real writers. That's ridiculous.

This is home and home is not something you remember, it is something you see every day and every moment.

It was a good moment, the kind you would like to press between the pages of a book, or hide in your sock drawer, so you could touch it again.
