I think if I was ever really going to be more serious about writing I'd have to try and find some way to do it with other people. I do find the silence kind of eerie.

I don't really want to do things that I feel like are going to send out a message that I don't really want to sign up for.

I cheated at the Model United Nations when I was 13 and had to get up and apologise in front of the whole conference.

If I have to spend prolonged periods of time in a trailer, I go mad. Stuck in a metal box doing nothing, I lie there paralysed with boredom.

I would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.

I'd actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can't be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could.

I think I was quite lucky in that I went to an all-girls school. I was never put in an environment where I had to be the other - the woman as opposed to the man - all the way through my education. I was never made to feel that way at home.
