I had been overexposed in a particular way because my marriage to an extremely successful older man meant I was involved in his public life as well as my own.

I hate to spoil my own prospects, but I really don't respect the kiss-and-tell approach to public life at all, not at all.

I have been on my own all my life except during those touring days.

What I've always tried to find in my books are points at which the private lives of the characters, and also my own, intersect with the public life of the culture.

A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.

My life and career is my own adventure.
