• I would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category.

• People look at film in a gallery, and if they walk out after two minutes they know they haven't seen the whole work. But then people look at a painting for two minutes and think they've seen it.
