I Wouldn't Go Out Of My Way

When I'm Writing I Just Think There's Only The Page And Me And Nobody Else.

If You Are A Writer You're At Home, Which Means You're Out Of Touch. You Have To Make Excuses To Get Out There And Look At How The World Is Changing.

If You're From Dublin, For Example, Chances Are You Live With Your Family, If You're Lucky Enough To, Right Up To The Mid-20s. And Most Of The People I Know, When They Finally Sort Of Set Off On Their Own, They Don't Stray All That Far.

My Novels Come From Within Me; They Are Things I Feel I Want To Do.

Do Not Place A Photograph Of Your Favourite Author On Your Desk, Especially If The Author Is One Of The Famous Ones Who Committed Suicide.
