I am a novelist,

You cannot combine being a movie star with not being a movie star

I hire tea by the tea bag.

Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn

The process of writing a novel begins with a pang, a moment of recognition, and a situation, a character, or something you read in a paper, that seems to go off, like a solar flare inside your head.

Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without the thorn.
