I want to be a popular novelist who's also serious, or a serious novelist who's also very accessible.

From Graham Greene, I learnt how to be an accessible writer who grapples with our doubts as sentient individuals.

Success is a very fragile veneer. I get wary of people who embrace celebrity. It ruins people.

My father was a screenwriter, but he was also a novelist.

I'm a novelist, and I'm a woman, and I'm considered to be a serious author whether I like it or not.

I want to be an animated character. I'm also doing more writing and directing.
