No family is sane, is it?

One aspect of my mum's personality that has influenced me is her love of Hollywood and the golden era of black-and-white films.

I don't think there's a single person on this planet that doesn't have a day when they feel like they're off, like they're not doing a very good job of being them. We all relate to having highs and lows. Everyone gets depressed.

As I'm sure anyone who's born after the '70s' access point is - is '70s films and '70s culture and there is a kind of a paranoiac atmosphere in that time in America. Yes, it's the golden age of journalism, Watergate, and all the rest of these people making these great breakthroughs - but it's also the moment that "if it bleeds, it leads" becomes mainstream and sensationalizing the news becomes more and more the given. Checking how many numbers you're getting, whatever you can do to get more numbers.

As a child I loved ghost stories.

When I was 22, I thought I couldn't wear heels because of my height.

I'm not consciously avoiding doing a lot of period drama, but I don't really seek it out either.
