"People are always the start for me... animals, when I can get into their heads, gods, supernatural beings, immortals, the dead... these are all people to me."
People
"The other writer who had a very important early influence on me when I was about 17 was C.S. Lewis."
Influence
"I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of normal work."
Work
"If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young."
Intelligence
"I just love writing. It's magical, it's somewhere else to go, it's somewhere much more dreadful, somewhere much more exciting. Somewhere I feel I belong, possibly more than in the so-called real world."
Love
"When I am fascinated by something, I like to play with it."
Creativity
"I've been criticised for writing in too complex a manner for younger people."
People
"I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen."
Work
"Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and non-fiction. And even there, who can be sure?"
Fiction
"Writers tell stories better, because they've had more practice, but everyone has a book in them. Yes, that old cliche."
