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

I suppose kids probably know less boredom these days - or at least a different kind of boredom.

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

We take things that would have struck us as miraculous five years ago for granted. Like Pokémon Go would have been insane, and now it's just like, "Oh, okay."

In many ways, Big Brother is the present day equivalent of a 1980s Club 18-30 Holiday - flirting, sunbathing, silly little organised games, and lots of people you'd like to remove from the genepool with a cricket bat.

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

I'm trying to think overall. Some of our stories [Black Mirror], I think you're right in that they don't tend to have a message.
