Zitat des Tages von Philippa Gregory:
I try to go to the gym three times a week, and I swim, too.
The house I grew up in was a tall Victorian town house in Bristol. There were very big rooms, which were under-furnished and always cold.
At the end of the day, I'm writing in a genre that isn't highly regarded.
I am in the interesting position of being sometimes skimmed by the critics and called literature and sometimes called historical fiction.
I love going to London for a couple of days but I need to be in the country. I like the silence, the smell and the seasonal changes, especially in spring and summer. I really feel that I belong there.
The moment that changed me for ever was when I had my first seminar with my history professor at the University of Sussex. I realised that history would answer all the questions I had spent my life asking. It was an extraordinary moment.
When I was a child I wanted to be a vet. I'd come home with "lost" kittens and dogs. My mother would tell me to put them back.
For instance, I have never believed that there is only one person for each person in the world. It doesn't make the least sense to me. However, in reality, I fell in love at 45 and I am absolutely certain that my now husband is the only man in the world for me, a truth I find both ridiculous and uplifting.
Being a stepmother has worked out very well for me. I love my stepchildren very much.
I don't shop as much as a lot of people but I do like designer clothes.
I like writing historical fiction.
