When you know a place, your feet have walked it so many times there's a comfort to it.

A story comes into your head fully formed, you know exactly the place, the setting, the people. All you've got to do is get it our and written as soon as you possibly can.

It's actually a very liberating thing to have a creative community, which is something that we all kind of desperately search for and find in the ways that we can.

If you ever feel comfortable in what you're producing, you've lost. You're not alive, that's it, it's stagnant water.

When you're a story teller, you work out everything. You work out who these people are, what's going to be happening. The environment in which they live.

Actually in the moment in which the idea has life, when it's listened to read, engaged with, acted on stage, it gains another dimension, it becomes three dimensional.

Allow yourself to be out of your depth at all times.
