Generally, when I wake up in the morning I set out a series of problems for myself and I write them down, and when I’m sleeping, my mind solves the problems. When I wake up in the morning, I have more clarity on the issue.
I had a little radio, and I listened to music in my bedroom when I was supposed to be sleeping. I was probably 6 or 7 years old, and I loved the DJs who would come on and talk about the artists and the songs they were singing, and they gave away prizes. I was like, ‘This is a cool job!’

You are not thinking hard enough if you are sleeping well. And you would have to be unhinged to take on a subject like the French Revolution, or Rembrandt, and not feel some trepidation.

I love sleeping and to inculcate the habit of early rising, my dad forced me to take up a sport. That was the only reason I started playing cricket in the first place. And thereafter it continued.

I have trouble sleeping maybe one night a year. On that special night, I get up and read on the couch until I fall asleep.
Central African farmers don’t have any animal power because sleeping sickness kills all the animals – cattle, the horses, the burros and the mules. So draft animals don’t exist, and farming is all by hand, and the hand tools are hoes and machetes.

In ‘Who’s Who,’ my hobbies are listed as eating, sleeping, and voicing one’s opinion. Not necessarily the right opinion, but it’s mine.
I think diva is an inevitable outcome of the industry, and I don’t think it reflects on the person at all. You take a normal human being, and basically, for 24 hours, seven days a week, apart from sleeping, you introduce them to places and things almost every minute that are brand new.
I usually write in my underwear, with a space heater running full blast, and three dogs sleeping at me feet.
The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn’t.

While we are sleeping, two-thirds of the world is plotting to do us in.
I once set myself a deadline: half a chapter a week, 20 minutes a day. The thought froze me instantly, like literary Botox. I returned to my non-schedule: sleeping, writing 20 minutes, and then back to sleep. Breakfast in bed, with juice congealing on the sill: pages and pages began to pour out again.

If you see someone on a plane with an eye mask, sleeping, that’s probably me, because that’s pretty much where I live.
I like to keep a book underneath the pillow that I’m not sleeping on so I can reach over and grab it when I wake up. I don’t always do that, but I like to.
