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.'

It's true - women want the fantasy. So give them romance - but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.

People say, 'Where do you live?' and I say that theoretically, I live in London, but basically that's just where I go to change my suitcase. Otherwise, I'm always flying somewhere.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
