As A Writer, I Write To See.

My Father Was Very Outwardly Religious.

I Think Technique Can Be Taught But I Think The Only Way To Learn To Write Is To Read, And I See Writing And Reading As Completely Related. One Almost Couldn't Exist Without The Other.

I Think Fiction Is A Very Serious Thing, That While It Is Fiction, It Is Also A Revelation Of Truth, Or Facts.

I Love The Description Of Gothic Churches Before The Printed Word, That They Were The Bibles Of The Poor.

I Think That Each Of Us Inhabits A Private World That Others Cannot See. The Only Difference Between The Writer And The Reader Is That The Writer Is Able To Dramatise That Private World.
