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.’ – E. L. James

I’ve worked in television all my life, but really I’ve always wanted to work in the movies. – E. L. James
I never set out to do this – getting to No. 1 in the ‘New York Times’ bestseller list wasn’t even a pipedream. – E. L. James
