Wilbur Smith : (6)

" I’ve eaten lion, leopard, crocodile, python. I don’t recommend lion. It tastes exactly like when a tomcat comes into your house and sprays. Snake and crocodile are great – a cross between lobster and chicken. " - Wilbur Smith

" It’s probably true that everyone has a book in them, although it may not be a very good one. " - Wilbur Smith

" You don’t turn out as many books as I did then by sitting around, being cozy with the family. " - Wilbur Smith

" My mother-in-law speaks not a word of English. I speak not a word of Tajiki. So I smile at her ingratiatingly and she fixes me with a beady eye. " - Wilbur Smith

" I have done everything I have ever wanted to do. I have swum with tiger sharks, been charged by lions and elephants. I have been shot three times, chased by crocodiles and, God be praised, I’ve made enough money that I can continue to do all the things I want to for as long as I am able. " - Wilbur Smith

" I’m a feminist. The women in my books in recent years have been powerful characters and I love to see a woman with a cute bottom walking past. " - Wilbur Smith
