That element of surprise is what I look for when I am writing. It is my way of judging what I am doing - which is never an easy thing to do.

In England I am not English, in India I am not Indian. I am chained to the 1,000 square miles that is Trinidad; but I will evade that fate yet.

Forgiving is not an easy thing to do.

To act well isn't an easy thing.

I don't think it is an easy thing to write and expect to be commercial, even if you are from Venus and a hermaphrodite.

It's not an easy thing to be let go.
