I have two, three really good creative hours. I mean, if you were an athlete you wouldn’t really have more than two or three good hours in the day, but the rest of the day is… work that prepares your body for the same two to three hours…
Writing is the same. Part of this semi-athletic process is to keep the brain on edge, to keep the conflict going inside you, to be able to use all the possibilities of your own character.
Quoted in John LeCarré (1999), a TV documentary directed by MARC JAPPAIN
