Peter Carey : (3)

" I’m someone who always wants to do everything differently. If I have a pattern, I’d rather I didn’t have a pattern. I want every book to be unpredictable and new. Damn it! " - Peter Carey

" At the very end of a book I can manage to work for longer stretches, but mostly, making stuff up for three hours, that’s enough. I can’t do any more. At the end of the day I might tinker with my morning’s work and maybe write some again. But I think three hours is fine. " - Peter Carey

" It’s true: one of the things that I’ve always thought about American society is that you never get the sort of natural politicisation of class consciousness that you would get in the United Kingdom or even in Australia. " - Peter Carey
