- [on 'The Woman In Black'] "I could never see how it could work as a play but now it goes on tour and has been running in Japan and Mexico for ages. When it was produced I thought it would last only six weeks."
- The laptop is so sensitive and quiet it's almost like pen and paper. I thought that maybe now I was a laptop writer, but when, not so long ago, I tried writing a short story, I just couldn't do it on the machine. I had to go back to my old method, working slowly with a pen.
- One of the nicest parts of being a writer is going to bed with a cup of coacoa or wine, a notebook, the telephone directory and a dictionary of quotations. You can pretend to be working by looking for names for your characters or quotations for the title of your book.
