Inspiration
Writing comes naturally to me... I am inspired by all the arts, not just other writers - films like Sunset Blvd and Blue Velvet, music from Tom Waits or The Beatles, images by Dali or Bosch. As for inspiration from books, there are too many to list! I'll mention Nabakov, Stephen King, Carson McCullers and William Burroughs. Comic book writing can be just as inspiring as literature; Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman is also a great inspiration to me.
Travel can be inspiring too. My favourite place to be is Amsterdam, but perhaps the best place to write is at home. At home I am inspired by a vase of roses on the window sill or the soft fur of my oriental shorthair cat, Nathan. I would describe myself as a cranky, obsessive and voracious writer - but my favourite novel is always the next one...
