My Theory Is That I Decided To Be A Writer When I Was About Seven, But Of Course It Is Not As Simple As That. Like Most Writers, I Had To Work At Other Things To Earn A Living And Wrote Mainly In The Evenings, Often Very Late At Night, For Many Years.

If A Job's Worth Doing, It's Worth Doing Twice.

It Changes You For Ever, But You Are Changing For Ever Anyway.
