change doubt life quite separate sure upset
Violence is very much with us, and we like to see it. I doubt if you can change that, and I'm not sure you should want to. I have occasionally been very upset by something I was writing, but it's quite rare: I keep my writing very separate from my life.
cheerful people quite
People always tell me my books are so dark; I don't think they're particularly dark. I'm not like that. I'm quite a cheerful soul.
difficulty quite
I have had quite a lot of prizes, but I don't think it makes any difference to the ease or difficulty to the writing process.
people quite sort
It makes me actually quite angry to think about people writing about torture with a sort of relish. Horrible.
cupboard large quite stuffed
I have two quite large houses, and every cupboard and drawer is stuffed with books.
