I grew up on Jane Austen novels and was a massive literature fanatic when I was a kid - I read everything I could get my hands on.
Anne Elliot was the one Jane Austen character I didn't fall in love with. She seemed sad and defeated.
I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.
What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.
If you look back, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven were mixing music and humor all the time.
I must confess I love female writers: Jane Austen, Isak Dinesen, Colette, Willa Cather, Dawn Powell, Joan Didion. I grew up on the Bronte sisters, and Daphne du Maurier.
I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.
I spent many hours ensconced in the local library, reading - nay, devouring - book after book after book. Books were my soul's delight.
I think it's about as likely Jane Austen was gay as that she was found out to be a man.
