  ”Karaktererne skal gerne opføre sig og tale som ”rigtige” mennesker og indeholde både godt og knap så godt. Intet menneske er fuldstændig ondt eller godt, og det skal også gælde de personligheder, vi møder i bøger. Noget at det allerfedeste ved at skrive er overraskelsen, når personer eller plot snor sig i mønstre, jeg ikke havde forudset. Så er det bare med at holde fast og følge med.”
