Goodreads asked Jeffrey Archer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jeffrey Archer I am inspired by many things. At first, I needed a job.

At other times I am inspired by other writers.

I am a huge admirer of author Stefan Zweig and especially of his work Beware of Pity. I discovered him when I was in my sixties and, since then, I have read all his books.

Another source of inspiration has been Margaret Thatcher, simply because her work ethic was incredibly strong.
