I Have Beliefs, Of Course, Like Everyone-but I Don't Always Believe In Them.

Beauty Is A Question Of Optics. All Sight Is Illusion.

My Role Models Were Childless: Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, George Eliot, The Brontes.

The Secret Of Being A Writer: Not To Expect Others To Value What You've Done As You Value It. Not To Expect Anyone Else To Perceive In It The Emotions You Have Invested In It. Once This Is Understood, All Will Be Well.
