My writing life is always a bit disorganized. It's hard for me to get going, but sometimes, once I begin, I go like the wind.

Like going to my favorite restaurant, it can sometimes get hard. I just can't go to the mall.

I always wanted to be Jo in 'Little Women.' She's a bit reckless and feckless, always getting into trouble like me. But I'm probably more like Madame Bovary.

I like pubs too, but it's hard for me to go and get proper bladdered in the way I used to. I don't want to moan about being recognised but I do get a bit of grief sometimes.

Once companies begin to outsource, they never go back.

I like a man who's going to tell me 'No!' sometimes.
