I've got no interest in educating or instructing people.

Uncertainty is the normal state.

Give us this day our daily mask.

Life is a gamble, at terrible odds - if it was a bet you wouldn't take it.

I write for film or, in this case, television when I haven't got a play cooking.

I don't write at the library, because I smoke when I work or would like the possibility of a smoke. Also, I need to be at my own desk.

I write fiction because it's a way of making statements I can disown.
