We used to go to the cinema once or twice a week, and they used to preview X-certificate films-those which children couldn't see-and I was terrified, and used to have nightmares just from the previews.

I do need space aside from projects that fit in with what I am known for... to work on more contemporary novels.

I'm writing what comes into my head, or through me, or from somewhere else, and it is the most extraordinary, exciting thing. I love it, and I'm very greedy, and I really enjoy it!

It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person; I'm not even really aware of writing for myself.

There are the characters who die but who you follow after death, and they often lead much more interesting lives after they are dead! So the characters usually drive me along, but occasionally the plot has to come first. It can get sticky.

I never know where I am going, though. That is part of what makes it so wonderful. And after all, who does?

As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her own invention. She, too, tended to reverse the norm.

I've written two books set in India... In the mid-'80s, I just fell for India, and it was like a love affair. I was obsessed with it. I read a few things, and looked at films, and it was as though I was more there than in England, where I was writing! This always happens to me, and it's magical.

I used to work all hours of day and night, but changes in my life and physical stamina have meant that now I rarely work so long as I did-4 in the morning was a reasonable time to me, for finishing up. That isn't in my range any more.

Rachmaninov had an endless influence on me.

Locality is, in my case, unimportant. My mind and heart go where they wish.

But all lives are important, all people are important, because everyone is a book. Some people just have easier access to it.

I will admit to a pleasure and sense of hope in what I see as the basic teachings of Christ, stripped of the nonsense that has sometimes been accumulated about them and the embarrassing misunderstanding.

At an early school, when I was about 5, they asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. Everyone said silly things, and I said I wanted to be an actress. So that was what I wanted to be, but what I was, of course, was a writer.

Archetypes are universal, and, in subtle or extravagant ways, interchangeable.
