One of the nicest parts of being a writer is going to bed with a cup of coacoa or wine, a notebook, the telephone directory and a dictionary of quotations. You can pretend to be working by looking for names for your characters or quotations for the title of your book.

The laptop is so sensitive and quiet it's almost like pen and paper. I thought that maybe now I was a laptop writer, but when, not so long ago, I tried writing a short story, I just couldn't do it on the machine. I had to go back to my old method, working slowly with a pen.

[on 'The Woman In Black'] "I could never see how it could work as a play but now it goes on tour and has been running in Japan and Mexico for ages. When it was produced I thought it would last only six weeks."
