I have had quite a lot of prizes, but I don't think it makes any difference to the ease or difficulty to the writing process.
It sounds awful and sort of goody two-shoes, but I never eat between meals.
You don't knock television, even if you don't always like what they make of your work. It makes all the difference between being an also-ran writer and very famous.
I get very tired of violence in crime fiction. Maybe it is what life is like, but I don't want to do it in my books.
I'm fortunate that I'm employed. And if you're in show business, of course, every night you go to bed and go, oh my god, tomorrow I'll never, ever work again.
I grew up watching horror films from a very young age. My sister was never able to watch scary movies; I don't think she'll ever watch mine because she's just so bad at it. Its funny because I'm the complete opposite: I love to be scared. I love to have that fear before you go to bed, and you're like, 'Oh my God, please, nothing come out.'
I'm a 7 o'clock act. My people want to go to a show, a dinner and then go home and go to bed.
Every night I go to bed early and I wake up early so that I can walk.
