Eavesdrop And Write It Down From Memory - Gives You A Stronger Sense Of How People Talk And What Their Concerns Are. I Love To Eavesdrop!

In My Experience, There Is Only One Motivation, And That Is Desire. No Reasons Or Principle Contain It Or Stand Against It.

I Loved The House The Way You Would Any New House, Because It Is Populated By Your Future, The Family Of Children Who Will Fill It With Noise Or Chaos And Satisfying Busy Pleasures.

Most Of My Childhood Revolved Around Wondering When We Would Be Blown Up By The Russians. I Couldn't Stand The News, I Knew That If The Missile Were Launched, Mortality Would Arrive In Half An Hour, So I Spent A Lot Of My Childhood Feeling That I Was 30 Minutes From Being Dead.

Fascination With Horses Predated Every Other Single Thing I Knew. Before I Was A Mother, Before I Was A Writer, Before I Knew The Facts Of Life, Before I Was A Schoolgirl, Before I Learned To Read, I Wanted A Horse.
