I'm too conceited for therapy.
- Devil
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm with Milton and the Rolling Stones: I don't find the Devil an unsympathetic character. But in any case, my fiction is populated as much by people who do good as it is by those who do bad. I'm interested in imaginatively accommodating as much of the human as possible, for which you need both moral extremes and everything in between.

Nineteenth-century English literature I know; 19th-century sewage systems, not so much.
- Dream

I'm constantly dogged with a feeling of fraudulence, so if somebody tells me they like what I've written, then I immediately begin to think it's rubbish.
- Said
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

If being a werewolf is really a curse, you've got to treat it honorably. If werewolves are going to carry on, there has to be an incredibly powerful force. There is the business of the craving, the hunger for the kill. It has to be deeply pleasurable and more than an appetite for meat. There has to be a sensual dimension to it.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not quite sure when I began to be troubled by the creeping sense of my own ludicrousness, but it persisted - and eventually grew into a fascination. I started writing about it. Thus, in His characteristically mysterious way, the Lord made clear His plans for me.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Until the age of thirteen, I tortured the waiting worlds of book illustration and professional football by shilly-shallying over which of them was going to get the benefit of my inestimable talents.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not very good at story. In fact, compared to character and language, I barely care about story at all.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are, I'm depressed to say, many classics I have not yet read and will probably never get around to, though I will not stop short of hospitalizing myself in the attempt.

- Great

- Nov 07, 2020
Werewolves were far more terrifying than vampires. It is probably the idea of seeing the human within the beast and knowing you can't reach it. It might as well be a great white shark. There is no sitting down and discussing Proust with it, which the traditional vampire model seems to leave room for. You can have a conversation.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I read John Irving's novel 'The World According To Garp' when I was about 14 or 15. It was the first grown-up book that I had read. It is the story of a young man who grows up to be a novelist. I finished it, and I wanted to write a book that made the reader feel the way I felt at the end of that, which was sort of both bereft and elated.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a long time, I'd wanted to write a book that I would be proud and happy and psychologically and morally comfortable about my parents' reading.
- Thinking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I will waste an extraordinary amount of time, you know. And if it's not watching television, I'll be sitting staring out of the window. And yes, I know there's the idea of the artist, sitting there doing nothing while things are going on, but actually, no. It's vacant space. I'm thinking about the laundry.
- Life
- |

I don't think things happen for a reason, but I think it's perfectly possible to experience life meaningfully.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Purpose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to believe in signs, omens, patterns, secret purpose, synchronicities.
- Magic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I still want magic, I find. The old fashioned kind. I don't believe in it, but I still have a hankering for it.
- Boxed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We're in the age of the series, trilogy, boxed sets.
- Got
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My position is that you've got to accommodate everything. I don't morally accommodate but imaginatively accommodate.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family is Anglo-Indian, and of the four children, I'm the only one who wasn't born in India.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The winter of 1991 found me stunned and shivering in the aftermath of an imploded love affair. Being 26, I flung myself actorishly on London and, without any intimations of my own ludicrousness, spent two years showing God what I thought of Him by letting myself go.
