I am surrounded by counselors. My sister is a counselor. My daughter is training to be a counselor. A lot of my friends are counselors.

I'd love a day devoid of responsibilities. I've often thought about going to a hotel just to have a day away from everything.

Sometimes I rant, in a comical way, about how the gods give with one hand and take with the other.

I'm spectacularly disorganised. I wrote my latest book in seven different notebooks scattered throughout my house.

My skin is dead good. I think it must be a combination of being in love and Lucozade.

Every time I start a new piece of work, I spend a long while under the duvet thinking I can't do it.
