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.

I used to throw away my holograph manuscripts after I'd typed them, but I'm keeping a lot of them now, because obviously, at 50, I'm starting to think, if anyone ever is interested in me after I'm dead, they can look and see.

I also love Disney, and will defend doing so, because there's so much in those films and I don't care if it's stereotyped.

I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.

Agents are essential, because publishers will not read unsolicited manuscripts.

There should be a law against doing work one doesn't like or believe in.
