“Madness doesn't happen to someone alone. Very few people have experiences that are theirs alone.”

“I've always really enjoyed writing different things because I get bored very easily.”

“Things can be funny when people are uneasy. It softens them up and stops them falling asleep on the sofa. I like those moments where people half-smile and half-wince.”

“If this be not love, it is madness, and then it is pardonable.”

“Writing is a form of licensed madness.”

“You're on your own with the book. And while you are writing fiction, you're spending all this time with people who don't actually exist, which is just madness.”
