My theory is that we used to have several personalities, and now we're encouraged to have one online.

I'm terrible at reading fiction. I don't have the attention span - it's awful.

I'm a worrier. In the UK, if I'm known for anything, it's sort of for being cynical.

As long as we've still got crazy "what if" ideas, we can continue [Black Mirror]. It's outpacing reality that's probably the challenge.

I saw The Twilight Zone for the first time when I was 12 or 13. I used to stay up late to watch.

Society? Can we trust us? Doubt it. We're probably not even real, as was revealed in the popular documentary The Matrix. That bloke next door? Made of pixels. Your co-workers? Pixels. You? One pixel. One measly pixel. You haven't even got shoes, for Christ's sake.

Most of the books I read these days are children's books at bedtime.
