I'm a big fan of London in the summertime. English people are dependent on weather to change our attitudes, and, provided it's a decent summer, everyone's spirits are uplifted and the whole place is in bloom. It's a magical transformation. London in the summer, going to see bands play outside, watching football.

I can't stand watching myself on TV.

I can pretty much live without fast food. I haven't eaten McDonald's in so long, but it's okay.

I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.

You have to do things that excite you; you have to have a passion for your work. Otherwise you're just a face on the screen.

I feel like you just need to keep writing until the writing itself just begins to take shape.

I bite my nails. I've been chewing on them for years. As long as you don't chew through flesh it's all right.
