Forde: Have you used that part of your childhood creatively? I mean, is that something you close off from yourself now, or is it something you’ve actually been able to explore?

Lessing: I don’t think I’ve directly used it, but I think it’s contributed to a certain dark view of life which I now try to examine.

Forde: I understand that you came to London in 1949 with the manuscript of The Grass Is Singing.

Lessing: I didn’t know it was impossible to live on what you earned by writing, which everyone said it was. I just didn’t have very much money. Nowadays there’s a very real difference between writers – our lot and this lot. This lot care passionately about money, as far as I can make out, and success, I think, much too soon. I think they should get on with what they’re doing and let the success look after itself.
