I Was Highly Aware, In Writing [the Book] Room, That There Are Unsavoury Aspects To Our Interest In Such Cases, And I Thought It Was Rather Honester To Include Discussion Of Media Representation In The Novel Itself Than To Cling To The High Moral Ground By Merely Avoiding Scenes Of Voyeurism, For Instance.

With My First Book, I Was Hired To Write A Draft Of The Script. I Was So Young And Less Confident. They Put Me Through Seven Or Eight Drafts And It Was Just Getting Worse And Worse, And Then The Film Was Never Made.

What Writing Room Taught Me Was That I Know Exactly How To Be The Perfect Mother, But I'm Not Willing To Do It For More Than Ten Minutes At A Time.

Change For Your Own Sake, If You Must, Not For What You Imagine Another Will Ask Of You.
