Sophie Hannah Life Quotations

Reading is the only area of my life in which I prefer to be non-autonomous.

With me, even if my life depended on it, I wouldn't be able to cry. Not with somebody there. Because even if I'm talking about bad and upsetting things, if there is somebody else in the room, I am trying to entertain them. If there is somebody there, I am in performance mode. I can only cry if I am on my own.

My characters all have issues, but I don't see that as weird or abnormal because I think in real life there are very few bland, normal people.
