I'm An Escapist Kind Of Writer.

I Do Try To Live Every Day As If It Were My Last, And It Has Worked For Me So Far.

My Mother Was A Trained Nurse, And She'd Tell Me That Patients Would Fight As They Were Administered Anaesthetic, Grappling To Get The Gas Mask Off Their Face.

If I Had My Life To Live All Over Again, I Really Think I Would Have Been A Fit Person. Looking Around Me, I Realise That The Men And Women Who Walked And Ran And Swam And Played Sport Look Better And Feel Better Than The Rest Of Us.

If You Don't Go To A Dance You Can Never Be Rejected But You'll Never Get To Dance Either.

I Don't Think You're Happier If You're Thin Or Beautiful Or Rich Or Married. You Have To Make Your Own Happiness. My Heroines Do Not Become Beautiful Elegant Swans, They Become Confident Ducks And Get On With Life.
