Every time I flicked channels, there I was, talking. I was talking too much and writing too little. So Naomi and I went to Hawaii. The phone was cut off and we lost touch. This gave me the chance to have a good think about my life. ↗

My father could have been deported because on his immigration application he said that he was a printer, obviously because he didn't want them to be checking his writings. ↗

I approach writing female characters the same why I approach writing male characters. I never think I'm writing about women, I think I'm writing about one woman, one person. And I try to imagine what she is like, and endow her with a lot of my own thoughts and history. ↗

I spend most of every day writing. I like to write every day if I can. I don't start extremely early. ↗
