I thought ‘I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere?‘ Look back over the past eight years.

I need some isolation, it's necessary to me, that's just who I am. I need to be left alone.

I think I'll feel out of place wherever I go on earth, forever. But that's fine. I have to make my peace with that.

I'd prefer to be good, but I'm not always. I struggle.

I've always loved books by the Bronte sisters. I love Jane Austen, too. I'm more influenced by people like her than by pop culture.

I get up, go and get a coffee, and go do the crossword - I'm loyal to one particular paper, the 'Guardian' - and that's my idea of a perfect morning.

Living in L.A., I was completely lost - and I enjoyed it.
