“I love L.A. for a couple of days - I like the healthy food - but it's a one-industry town.”
“I'm turning into one of those people who writes to the actors on 'Coronation Street' - a really obsessive fan.”
“My hair is frizzy, so I'm constantly smoothing it down.”
“Getting up early means I can write for a few hours before anyone starts phoning me or ringing the doorbell.”
“I am too much of a worrier. I'm the person who thinks about calling round all the hospitals when someone is five minutes later than they said they would be.”
“If you spend too much time in L.A., you might start to lose a sense of what's normal.”
“Since I was an adult, I've always lived in the centre of London - King's Cross, Bloomsbury - and never thought I'd leave.”
“I never show my books to Ricky. His writing is very different, and anyway, he's only read one novel in his life: 'The Catcher in the Rye.'”
“After my eye test, I was told I was showing symptoms of glaucoma. I realised - but only in retrospect - that pains in my eyes and the feeling of pressure that I had been experiencing must have been because of that. I'd assumed they were symptoms of migraines.”
“When I started working from home, I made a promise to myself to go out at least once a day.”
“I spent my whole childhood trying to find places to be on my own. I used to sit on the water tank in the attic or in the dog's kennel. I was quite a strange child.”
“Grandchildren are the Furbies of the offspring world. They're cute, they're funny, you can play with them and then put them away when they start to get on your nerves.”
“One reviewer dubbed my first book, 'Getting Rid of Matthew,' 'chick noir,' and another called it 'anti chick lit,' both of which I loved.”
“The idea of appearing in front of an audience or on live TV terrifies me.”
“I've got no desire to be famous myself.”
“I just feel that if you're going to have kids, you need to believe that, emotionally, you can give them a really good life.”
“The earlier I wake up, the better my day, so I try to get out of bed between 5 A.M. and 7 A.M.”
“I've never wanted a baby. I've always wanted a cat.”
“I've always been very clear: I never want to be known just as somebody's girlfriend.”
“Having grown up quite shy and quiet, it's important that I mark out who I am in the world through my work.”
