Quotations: "I never had a desire for a public life, never expected to be read by more than a couple of thousand people, and when you get the mass audience I seem to have stumbled upon, the public exposure is very disconcerting... There's an uneasy encounter between art and commerce which I don't know personally how to resolve... writing is... something I do for myself and because I can... magic moments when it's happening, when you finally get pen to paper, you exist only in that present tense - you don't have an age, a heartbeat, you're just in this squeezed-down narrow focus which is timeless."
Tim Winton is married and he is a father of three children.
