I like to say there's certain things you can't take back: One of them is 'I love you,' and one of them is bullets.
Writing a novel is not method acting and I find it easy to step out of it at cocktail hour.
And I agreed with that, and I couldn't wait to change my name anyway, because I'm not too fond of the name of Reginald. It's a very kind of '50s English name.
