I like enthusiasts of any kind.

There is no place I know that compares to pure imagination.

The reason I collect good ideas is because plots themselves are very difficult indeed to come by.

If I had my way, I'd remove January from the calendar altogether and have an extra July instead.

Never mind about 1066 William the Conqueror, 1087 William the Second. Such things are not going to affect one?s life...but 1932 the Mars Bar and 1936 Maltesers and 1937 the Kit Kat - these dates are milestones in history and should be seared into the memory of every child in the country.

I think I have this thing where everybody has to think I'm the greatest.And if they aren't completely knocked out and dazzled and slightly intimidated by me, I don't feel good about myself.

Writing is mainly perspiration, not inspiration.
