I like writing for children. It seems to me that most people underestimate their understanding and the strength of their feelings and in my books for them I try to put this right. ↗

I was born in a small suburb of Ilford in a rather nasty housing estate that my mother despised. She had grown up in the country, so when the war came and I was evacuated to Wales she thought I was much better off there. ↗

I would hate to live in the country, unless I was living on a farm. ↗

I've never found it made the slightest difference being a woman - though there is a sort of feeling that as you get older you're not so interesting. ↗

Life isn't so complicated for children. They have more time to think about the really important things. That's why I occasionally moralise in my children's books in a way I wouldn't dare when writing for adults. ↗

I like to walk around my apartment naked. I like sitting around in the nude watching sports, actually. ↗

The major championships have always been a special focus in my career, and as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be. ↗

Surely--But I am very off from that. From surely. From indeed. From the decent arrow that was my clean naivete and my faith. This morning, men deliver wounds and death. They will deliver death and wounds tomorrow. And I doubt all. You. Or a violet. ↗

There are many times when I think I would have rather died with my husband. It would have been pleasanter, simpler. But it would have been worse for the children and the family in general. ↗
