I really do literally put myself into a character's shoes.

We don't say a man's ill if he's crazy about sex, if he can't get enough sex. Why should a woman be different?

We always know when we are awake that we cannot be dreaming even though when actually dreaming we feel all this may be real.

There are only two periods in a woman's life when she hopes to be taken for older than she is, under sixteen and over ninety.

Many emotions go under the name of love, and almost any one of them will for a while divert the mind from the real, true, and perfect thing.

They say you cannot make a noise to annoy yourself.

To be a classic, a novel should be original.
