I saw the intervew in question: it was a part of the very interesting "Faulks on Fiction" TV series that's currently being shown on BBC 4. It came across to me that he was simply saying that he personally is not able to write at a "lower level" than he does. I didn't take it as a general statement about people who do write for children. But I may of course be wrong
