"There is no doubt that it is more difficult to read and more difficult to write but I still manage."

Doubt

"In The Touch, the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else I've ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination."

Imagination

"My fictitious characters will take the bit between their teeth and gallop off and do something that I hadn't counted on. However, I always insist on dragging them back to the straight and narrow."

Will

"I think explicit love scenes are a turn off unless it's the kind you read with one hand."

Love

"In early draft it never satisfied me, and that was when it clicked into place and it went so well as a diary."

Writing

"The Labour Party of today has fits of horrors of the very thought of somebody like me might saying that they bought in white Australia. But I believe they did."

Thought

"She told fortunes for a living. It's a wacky book and was great fun to write. It is very much a look at what life was like for women in Australia in the 1960's."

Life

"It's a woman's book but I think the men will read it too."

Man

"I am writing a sequel to The Touch because I want to further explore the Chinese question that I have raised. There will be more about that in a sequel."

Question

"Once I've got the first draft down on paper then I do five or six more drafts, the last two of which will be polishing drafts. The ones in between will flesh out the characters and maybe I'll check my research."
