I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

And as a writer, your self-worth is literally based on the last thing you wrote.

I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.

I've never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable.

I'm a young woman and I'm going to write about what I know.
