In 'The Interestings' I wanted to write about what happens to talent over time. In some people talent blooms, in others it falls away.
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
Real people - the interesting ones, anyway - don't remain static, and neither do the ones I write about. Changes take place, and they react to them.
Some people think that Facebook is fantastic; other people are very worried about it.
I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters.
In other words, the people who populate my books are more than caricatures.
I don't tend to write straight dramas where real life just impinges. But because I don't, when I do, it is very interesting to slap people in the face with just an absolute of life.
Every reader knows about the feeling that characters in books seem more real than real people.
People who assume my books are only about quilts obviously haven't read them! I've always known that my books are about quilters - in other words, people - rather than quilts or quilting.
