Writing is something I've always done on the side. I thought that no one would be interested, so I kept it to myself.

I made a decision to write for my readers, not to try to find more readers for my writing.

I actually started writing publishable stuff the day I decided I'd actually like to write something I'd like to read, and stopped trying to think what does everyone actually want.

I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.

Writing has always felt like a compulsion. Even at high school there'd be times when people would ask me if I wanted to go and hang out and I'd sit home and write instead.

I started out life as a writer, and writers write in part because they don't want to talk.

Writers sometimes write things for me and I like to see what they write because I want to see what their take on my delivery is or what they think that I can do with something. So I kind of leave that to them.

I just started to write because I was fed up of not seeing the stories that I wanted, so I was like 'Stop moaning and write something.'

I'm not sure there are too many people who write what I write.

Sometimes I decide I don't want to write because it isn't the thing for me to be doing right then, and I go do something else.
