When I wrote 'Dear Fatty,' I realised that sitting and writing alone is an absolute joy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writing for me is cutting out the fat and getting to the meaning.
There's a happiness that comes from writing that I won't live without.
As I was growing up, it was made clear that the fat me wasn't welcome, that a thin person was expected and awaited, and impatiently so.
Honestly, I find writing to be a very lonely job.
Writing is a great love of mine.
I was very happy sitting alone at a dining room table, writing a script.
Well, the attractive thing about the subject of happiness is that it is notoriously difficult to write.
I'm never more miserable than when I write, and never more happy than having finished and having it sitting in front of me.
I can't sit and twiddle my thumbs. I have to start writing even if it's miserable some days.
I don't sit down to write a funny story. Every single thing I sit down to write is meant to be sad.
