When I was about 10 or 11, I realised that people made movies; until then, I had thought they just happened.

I'm not of the opinion that the next logical step for a book is for it to be made into a film.

I started writing because I wanted to write scripts, but I wasn't very good at it. Then I started writing short stories, sort of as treatments for the film scripts, and I found I enjoyed writing short stories far more than I enjoyed writing film scripts. Then the short stories got longer and longer and suddenly, I had novels.

I'm not sure my books would translate into movies very easily. So rather than have someone do a terrible job, I haven't been willing to sell them.

I just write books, and I do it without any notion of what I should do or shouldn't do.

Do I have to talk to insane people?"
