- Nov 07, 2020
Nothing, I find, has prepared me for the sight of my own characters walking about. A playwright or screenwriter must expect it; a novelist doesn't and naturally concludes that she has gone mad.
- Fan

I first became an Alan Moore fan in Covent Garden on a Saturday afternoon in 1987, when I bought a copy of 'Watchmen,' his graphic novel about ageing superheroes and nuclear apocalypse.

- Nov 07, 2020
I had always been fascinated by comics, but it had taken me several weeks to make up my mind to buy 'Watchmen'; for someone on a publisher's assistant's salary, it was some quite unheard-of sum of money.
- Easy

It's not easy to convey to someone who doesn't read comics just how Alan Moore has dominated the field since 'Watchmen.'
- Culture

- Nov 07, 2020
Alan Moore is a peculiarly unsung triumph of British culture, and Northampton, where he was born in 1953, the son of brewery worker Ernest and printer Sylvia, is where you must go to find him.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
I could always imagine more interesting places to be than where I was. And more interesting people than me being there. Eventually, this led to making up stories and writing things down.
- Know

I always really liked magicians. I'm not even sure why - except that they know things other people don't, and they live in untidy rooms full of strange objects.
- Most

- Nov 07, 2020
In 'Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell,' I wanted to create the most convincing story of magic and magicians that I could.
- Looking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can write most places. I particularly like writing on trains. Being between places is quite liberating, and looking out of the window, watching a procession of landscapes and random-ish objects, is very good for stories.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
One way of grounding the magic is by putting in lots of stuff about street lamps, carriages, and how difficult it is to get good servants.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can get this feeling of the English or Scottish or Irish or Welsh fairy, but it is by nature very elusive. It would be possible to pin down a German fairy, but the English one just vanishes, becomes the shadow under the trees.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's funny, because I don't think of myself as a novelist. I think of myself as a writer.
- Magic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I tell stories. I kind of stumbled on that by trying to combine Jane Austen and magic.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel very much at home in the early nineteenth century and am not inclined to leave it.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It seemed to me that you make magic real by making it a little prosaic, a little difficult and disappointing - never quite as glamorous as the other characters imagine.
