E. L. James

I'm not a great writer.

If you've been married for 400 years, as I have, it's nice to experience first love again and you can vicariously through a book.

I value my anonymity. I'm happy to come in on the tube or the train and watch other people reading 'Fifty Shades.'

In my opinion, the Republican Party is the last on the list to care about the needs of old people and children and poor people.

I am more excited about 'Divinity of Doubt: The God Question' than any other book in my entire career, and I've had seven New York Times bestsellers, three of them reaching number one.
