I have this lock of hair that keeps falling across my forehead. It drives me mad.
William Boyd

William Boyd

Sometimes limbo is a tolerable place to be stuck.
William Boyd

William Boyd
To live as an artist requires hard work or some extraordinary good fortune to come your way.
William Boyd
My novels are often about people who are in love or attracted to each other.
William Boyd
I let people off the hook too easily.
William Boyd
The last thing you know about yourself is your effect.
William Boyd
Dignity was the first quality to be abandoned when the heart took over the running of human affairs.
William Boyd
There is a disconnect between the film Bond and the literary Bond which is their contemporaneity. I don't suffer from that.
