WHY DO YOU WRITE?

Because otherwise I wouldn't know what I think. Besides, I haven't proved much use at anything else.

ARE YOU A VIVID DREAMER?

Yes, I sometimes dream such hilarious plots that I wake laughing. But when I try to write them down they have an inconvenient habit of vanishing.

WHERE ARE YOU HAPPIEST?

At a particular beach on the New South Wales south coast; in an evening garden with a friend and a glass of wine; at home.
