The Biggest Influence On My Books Was

I Look Placid, You See, That's Why People Think I'm Fine. Inside I Worry A Lot.

In My Stories, Whenever There's Somebody Wonderful And Charming And Bright And Intelligent, That's Me!

You Say To Yourself: 'what Could People, In All These Countries, Find In My Books?' And Yet I Think We're All The Same, Anywhere. Everybody Is A Hero Or A Dramatic Person In Their Own Story If You Just Know Where To Look.

I Think I Was Dealt A Good Hand. I Have Happy Genes.

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.
