Quotes
- “So I was smacked up on the Prime Minister's jet – big deal.”
- “The éminence cerise, the bolster behind the throne.”
- “There can be no more thrilling idea of intimacy than connecting with someone through the agency of the written word. Here we meet, on the page, naked and unadorned: shorn of class, race, gender, sexual identity, age and nationality. The reader I seek is a tautology, for he/she is simply…the person who wants to read what I have written.”
- “I have a healthy appetite for solitude. If you don't, you have no business being a writer.”
- “I think of writing as a sculptural medium. You are not building things. You are removing things, chipping away at language to reveal a living form.”
- “Wealth is a form of power in our society. With great power comes great responsibility. If you have too much wealth, ipso facto, you have too much power - therefore you have too much responsibility - and you're a kind of dictator.”
