Now, I'll tell you something that might interest you. Casino Royale was the first Bond book that Ian Fleming ever wrote. And he couldn't get anybody to touch it, to publish it - he couldn't do anything about it at all. Nobody wanted to know.

I wrote Murder at the Windmill. And it was accepted and we made it and it was the first film I made with Danny Angel, well the only film I actually made... I made a lot of it at the Windmill itself.

Well, The Day the Earth Caught Fire was a story... I don't if anybody knows what it is but it was about... in the early days of testing nuclear bombs, that Russia and America happened to test a nuclear bomb at the same moment at different ends of the earth.

Nobody ever heard Jack Nicklaus say 'I don't know' about anything.

I chose to publish the first 'Shopaholic' book under a pseudonym because I wanted it to be judged on its own merits.

Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted to set a time that nobody can touch for many years.
