Will you lie to me and promise to read them? Books need to be read. The pages need to be turned.
Sue TownsendI think it's essential for comic writers to have a hate figure, a despot, a regime to react against, and I think Thatcher was perfect for me, I loathed everything she stood for.
Sue TownsendYes - I am usually overweight. I have had to be interested in diet because of being diabetic for 30 years and having kidney failure.
Sue TownsendI've always loved books. I'm passionate about them. I think books are sexy. They are smooth and solid and contain delightful surprises. They smell good. They fit into a handbag and can be carried around and opened at will. They don't change. They are what they are and nothing else. One day I want to own a lot of books and have them nbear to me in my house, so that I can stroll to my bookshelves and choose what I fancy. I want a harem. I shall keep my favourites by my bed.
