My Interest Is In Power. How Power

Whenever I Go To Work I Wear A Jacket And A Tie, Because I'm Inherently Quite Lazy, And My Books Take So Long To Do, And My Publishers Don't Bug Me, So It's So Easy To Fool Yourself Into Thinking You're Working Harder Than You Really Are.

I Never Went To A Ballet Until I Was 45 Years Old. I Don't Know Why.

There's A Feeling About It. You Feel Almost Like A Cabinetmaker, Laying Planks. There's A Real Feeling When You Know You're Getting It Right. It's A Physical Feeling.

I Like New Ballets Because They're Totally New. As You Get Older, New Experiences Are Harder And Harder To Come By, So It's Pretty Great To Have A New Experience.

If Things Are Going Well, If The Writing's Coming Along, I Jump Out Of Bed Happy. And If The Previous Day Has Been Bad, I Get Out Of Bed Disgruntled.
