The zodiac is a system a person can play with and see meaning in.

The way that I see astrology is as a repository of thought and psychology. A system we've created as a culture as way to make things mean things.

I see disappointment as something small and aggregate rather than something unified or great. With a little effort, every failure can be turned into something good.

Astrology's a moving system that depends on where you're looking at it from on Earth. My horoscope here in London would be completely different to down in New Zealand.

I don't see that my age has anything to do with what is between the covers of my book, any more than the fact that I am right-handed. It's a fact of my biography, but it's uninteresting.

Any description of a person that comes from the outside is very hard to deal with. People don't like being summarised. It's nice to receive a compliment, but it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
