I've Seen A Lot Of People Buy

I'm An Escapist Kind Of Writer.

I Remember Watching Myself On Video And Being So Disappointed With Myself Because I Was Constantly Moving Around The Place And Laughing. I Thought, 'i Must Be So Much Louder Than I Think I Am. From Inside It Feels Fine.'

I Don't Have Ugly Ducklings Turning Into Swans In My Stories. I Have Ugly Ducklings Turning Into Confident Ducks.

I Have No Idea Whether What I Write Will Be Of The Remotest Interest To Anyone Else. Some Mornings When I Read What I Wrote The Previous Day I Think It's Fairly Entertaining; Other Times I Think It's Pure Rubbish. The Main Thing Is Not To Take Any Notice, Not To Be Elated Or Upset, Just Keep Going.

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.
