Quotes

"It's the energy that matters. I know it takes energy to write a novel. But a novelist can fall into a rhythm. Novels are quite long and plays are quite short and it's a question of capturing one particular thing. You can't get into a rhythm unless, like Ayckbourn, you have to write for your own company and your own theatre."
(1984)
