I have to write because if I don't get something down then after a while I feel it's going to bang the side of my head off. ↗

I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult and decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer's it's the best form of Alzheimer's to have. ↗

I'm a fantasy writer, called a fantasy writer. But there's very little, apart from one or two basic concepts in 'I Shall Wear Midnight,' which are in fact fantasy. You have sticks that fly, but they're practical broomsticks, with a bloody great strap that you can hold on to so you don't fall off. And you try not to use them too often. ↗

I've lost both parents in the last two years, so you pick up on that stuff. That's the most terrible thing about being an author - standing there at your mother's funeral, but you don't switch the author off. So your own innermost thoughts are grist for the mill. ↗

There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married, amazing things like that. I've been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day, a pagan ceremony. ↗

Negative feedback is better that none. I would rather have a man hate me than overlook me. As long as he hates me I make a difference. ↗

To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them. ↗

Compared to the United States and certainly a lot of other countries around the world... per year, Australians do see more films. ↗
