Bernard Cornwell
 I took time off last year to sail the Atlantic, and if I got more opportunities for blue-water cruising I might take them. |
| I volunteered for this life, wanted it and am not going to bitch about it now that I've got it. |
| I'd like to cut it down to three books in two years instead of two a year - but whether that'll happen I don't know. |
| I'm a success inasmuch that I enjoy my life, which is an enormous blessing and that doesn't depend on commercial success (though I wouldn't be such a fool as to deny that it helps). |
| I'm fortunate that the books sell, but even more fortunate to live in Chatham, to be very happily married and to have, on the whole, a fairly clear conscience. |
| In the end their appeal is not necessarily the history, but the quality of the story-telling, and a good story transcends national boundaries. |
| It just so happens that I write books, and I'm amazingly lucky that the books sell well all across the world, but even the biggest financial success will not compensate for an ill-lived life. |
| It's better than 9 to 5 because I'm my own boss so I can take off when I want to, and the dress code is non-existent and the commute is terrific. |
| It's fun. I sit down every day and tell stories. Some folk would kill to get that chance. |
| Judy couldn't move to Britain for family reasons, so I had to come to the States, and the U.S. government wouldn't give me a Green Card, so I airily told her I'd write a book. |
| Looking back, of course, it was irresponsible, mad, forlorn, idiotic, but if you don't take chances then you'll never have a winning hand, and I've no regrets. |
| Mind you, even in places where I'm much better known, I walk in anonymity, mainly because folks know authors' names, but not their faces. |
| Not sure what I'd so with a notebook other than swat flies. If I want a break I'd rather go down to Stage Harbor and talk boats. |
| Of course some days are easier than others, but my worst day is better than being in most humdrum occupations. |
| One book at a time... though I'm usually doing the research for others while I'm writing, but that sort of research is fairly desultory and I like to stick to the book being written - and writing a book concentrates the mind so the research is more productive. |
