interview, The Guardian, May 12, 2009
My husbands hated it when I wrote cos I used to kill myself laughing. I was so funny. They couldn't stand that it was so easy for me. Cosmo says I wrote in a trance. I'd sit down, black out and an hour or so later two-and-a-half thousand words would be there.

Sex & Sensibility
I'm tough, had to be. My parents tried to protect me by telling me that I was nothing and I would amount to nothing. That's why I'm so amazed when I hear middle-class parents telling their little bog-standard Imogens and Tims how wonderful they are.
