“I could be less impatient with people. I sometimes judge by impressions.”

“I didn't do it for the money. I know a lot of people say that, but if I'd wanted to be rich, I'd have stayed working as a city lawyer.

“In general, when I'm writing, I concentrate on the story itself, and I leave it to other people, such as agents and publishers, to work out who it's for.”

“My not-so-fun traits are that I get very impatient and I can be really stubborn.”

“The West is very impatient. You want overnight change.”

“When I was like 19 1/2, people were like, 'He should go back to Europe.' People are impatient.”
