british ironic watch work
I don't watch much British television at all. I mean, it's ironic because I used to work in it for years.
love women
I think women love a passionate love story.
nice book first-love
It's the fantasy of first love. If you've been married for 400 years, as I have, it's nice to experience first love again and you can vicariously through a book. And it is such a fantasy. It takes you away from doing the dishes and the laundry. I think of this as a contemporary romance rather than erotic fiction.
rumba warming-up sequins
My inner goddes has her sequins on and is warming up to dance the rumba.

absolutely became ring watch
Yes, I'm a 'Twi-hard.' I became obsessed. Absolutely obsessed. I didn't watch television, I didn't go to the cinema. My friends would ring and say: 'What are you doing?' And I would say: 'I've just got to finish this chapter.'
Write for yourself. That's it. And write every day.
I never set out to do this - getting to No. 1 in the 'New York Times' bestseller list wasn't even a pipedream.
people train tube watch
I value my anonymity. I'm happy to come in on the tube or the train and watch other people reading 'Fifty Shades.'
life movies television work worked
I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.
book fourth next
Everyone's clamoring for the fourth book in the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy, which makes me laugh. Just the part of 'a fourth book in trilogy' that makes me laugh, not the clamoring for the next book.
