"I wanted to wake up with a new name, a new hair colour, and almost the same heart."

"God for all anyone knows could be Cary Grant."

"I fell in love with money before I had any and it’s a myth that the best romances end in heartbreak."

"Writing is hard work. Even when you start with the raw ingredients – a mad family, a sense of humour, talent…it’s hard work. But you do get to sit around in silk pyjamas all day."

"I think about toilets a lot, and how awful it must be to be a toilet."

"Lies are easy to believe in but the truth sounds false."

"Betrayal is a cliché … Lies are so suburban. But murder is nice and clean."

"Writing things down is dangerous. Ink can’t be erased without leaving a mess behind."
