• ‟ Jane was my wicked stepmother: she was generous, affectionate and resourceful; she salvaged my schooling and I owe her an unknowable debt for that. One flaw: sometimes, early on, she would tell me things designed to make me think less of my mother, and I would wave her away, saying, 'Jane, this just backfires and makes me think less of you.'

  - Martin Amis

  - Martin Amis
  

• ‟ Deciding to write a novel about something - as opposed to finding you are writing a novel around something - sounds to me like a good evocation of writer's block.

  - Martin Amis
  

• ‟ I would never write about someone that forced me to write at a lower register than what I can write.
