"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
"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
"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."
Old
"As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her own invention. She, too, tended to reverse the norm."
Family
"I'm writing what comes into my head, or through me, or from somewhere else, and it is the most extraordinary, exciting thing. I love it, and I'm very greedy, and I really enjoy it!"
Love
"It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person; I'm not even really aware of writing for myself."
