An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.

Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.

I was brought up in the great tradition of the late nineteenth century: that a writer never complains, never explains and never disdains.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.

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