I grew up in a working-class family, so I guess you could say I write from what I know.
I don't read reviews.
I grew up with a lot of Hollywood films. Cozy farm houses, cowboys, nice flats in New York. Especially as a kid, those things have a huge impression on you.
I don't think estates are grim places.
I just like doing things from my own head.
I work best when there is adversity: I seem to get calmer the more the fur is flying.
