Helen Fielding

My books have all generated controversy.

I come from Yorkshire in England where we like to eat chip sandwiches - white bread, butter, tomato ketchup and big fat french fries cooked in beef dripping.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that as soon as one part of your life starts looking up, another falls to pieces.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

What is drama but life with the dull bits cut out.
