It sounds trite, but I like telling stories.

I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.

I try and avoid thinking of strategy and I tend to stick to my gun of doing things that I like and try to avoid things that I "should" be doing, and stay true to that.

I daydream about things I want to happen, but none of it is more complicated, most of the time, than just really hoping that the good parts and the well-written parts are the ones that turn up on my doorstep.

Sometimes I can spend months doing things to make sure that my instincts work correctly, but ultimately it's still instinctive.

My mum's American. She's from Detroit.

Lentil dhal is the only thing I can cook.
