E. L. James quotes about
love women
I think women love a passionate love story.
true-love thinking mad-at-someone
I think you can only be truly mad at someone you really love.
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.
girlfriend sex husband
People are talking about sex. They're talking about sex with their husbands. They're talking about sex with their girlfriends. They're talking about sex with their partners. And because of all of this communication, women are having much more intimate relationships, which is fantastic.

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.'

I don't watch much British television at all. I mean, it's ironic because I used to work in it for years.
life movies television work worked
I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.
