People bang on all the time about whether what I've done is the truth or not. Well, to me, history is just a series of elaborate fictions.

Some of the things I have written about are a way of connecting with my father - I know he knew who Idi Amin was, and I know he knew who Longford was. And I know he knew who Nixon was, because shortly before he died, I talked to him about Watergate.

I can't help slightly falling in love with every character I write about. And I quite like writing about people who are vilified.
