Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.

I just am so tired of really badly written women. It's so boring.

Reviewers are the worst laughers in the world.

I grew up in a house of forthright women.

I cook rarely, but I've kind of got two or three dishes that I stick to. I do a great sweet potato and lentil curry.

I would be nothing if it wasn't for the town where I grew up and the people who gave me my inspiration.
