I've had two proposals since I've been a widow. I am a wonderful catch, you know. I have a lot of money.

I think about death every day - what it would be like, why it would happen to me. It would be humiliating to be afraid.

I don't find writing easy. That is because I do take great care: I rewrite a lot. If anything is sort of clumsy and not possible to read aloud to oneself, which I think one should do... it doesn't work.

Suspense is my thing. I think I am able to make people want to keep turning pages. They want to know what happens. So I can do that.

It makes me actually quite angry to think about people writing about torture with a sort of relish. Horrible.

People do sometimes ask me some really idiotic questions: 'Is your husband afraid of you putting arsenic in his food?' I replied that I have never written a book about poison, ever.

Reading is becoming a kind of specialist activity, and that strikes terror into the heart of people who love reading.

Why do we have to have violence, torture, brutality in crime dramas every time we turn on television? Any new crime drama is going to have, sooner or later, a lot of torture and nasty things that make people flinch. Lots of young people I know shrink and flinch from that kind of thing on television, so I think showing it is a mistake.

Crimes are more often committed out of fear than wickedness. People live frightened, desperate lives.
