"I didn't want it to be a book that made pronouncements."
Want
"Equally, we require a collective past - hence the endless reinterpretations of history, frequently to suit the perceptions of the present."
History
"I'm not an historian but I can get interested - obsessively interested - with any aspect of the past, whether it's palaeontology or archaeology or the very recent past."
Past
"I'm not an historian and I'm not wanting to write about how I perceive the social change over the century as a historian, but as somebody who's walked through it and whose life has been dictated by it too, as all our lives are."
Change
"I've always been fascinated by the operation of memory - the way in which it is not linear but fragmented, and its ambivalence."
Memory
"There's a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history."
History
"It seems to me that everything that happens to us is a disconcerting mix of choice and contingency."
Choice

Reading
"I'm writing another novel and I know what I'm going to do after, which may be something more like this again, maybe some strange mixture of fiction and non-fiction."
Fiction
"The present hardly exists, after all-it becomes the past even as it happens. A tricky medium, time - and central to the concerns of fiction."
