E. L. James

I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.

Everyone's clamoring for the fourth book in the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy, which makes me laugh. Just the part of 'a fourth book in trilogy' that makes me laugh, not the clamoring for the next book.

I see myself as a story teller.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
