Nobody is surprised that women writers accurately represent male characters over and over again, no doubt because everybody knows that women understand men much better than vice-versa.

I don't have a very high opinion of men, without doubt it is because I am one. Men and women live on two planets. I find it even bizarre that we can coexist.

I understand men much better than most women I know.

Beware of the man who denounces women writers; his penis is tiny and he cannot spell.

I'm definitely more influenced by European writers than I am by American writers, there's no doubt about that.

Male critics and men in the publishing industry want from their women writers what they want from their wives. I'm interested in presenting characters that are more challenging, threatening, complicated and unpredictable.
