My novels come from within me; they are things I feel I want to do.
Sometimes adults seem as though they have cut a chord from being a child.
I see people in terms of dialogue and I believe that people are their talk.
The best way to reveal a character is to get them to open their mouths.
Do not place a photograph of your favourite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.
I wouldn't go out of my way to experience the indignity of middle-age just because it might be good meat for a story.
