I'm incredibly neurotic and a control freak. I like the thought that if there's going to be anyone to blame it's going to be me.

I am quite competitive. In stupid things like card games.

I'd like to make music for as long as I can; it feels like something I need to do.

It took a lot of time and practice for me to realise that there's no point trying to be something you're not.

Womanhood is something you don't consider until it hits you.

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 love the way you can fall in love with a piece of literature; how words alone can get your heart doing that.
