I Would Like To Be Soft And Warm. I Would Be Terrified To Be That Way. I Could Be Hurt If I Were Soft And Warm. I Could Be Hurt By Something Other Than Myself. It Is Harder To Be Soft Than It Is To Be Hard. I Could Be Hurt By Something Other Than Myself.

I'm A Writer. I Never Expected To Be Recognised On The Street. I Never Expected To Get That Kind Of Coverage, Good Or Bad. I Never Expected To Sell As Many Books As I Have.

To Say That You Can't See Echoes Of The Past In What I Do Would Be Absurd. Everything That Has Preceded Me Has Affected Me.
