The story of 'Lasers' is my story. I didn't have to look too far to get subject matter for this record; it was stuff that was happening to me.

Five hundred words a day is what I aim for. And I don't go on to the next chapter until I've polished and polished and polished the one I'm working on.

I take laser tag incredibly seriously. I am an extremely competitive person - most likely a little over the top at times, but that's just who I am.

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

I'm not one of those people who's so blinded by my own work and my sweat. It's kind of risky writing a memoir when you're really part of a larger universe.

In a way, my childhood was one long bunch of pages... I read and read and read.

Who I am, what I am, is the culmination of a lifetime of reading, a lifetime of stories. And there are still so many more books to read. I'm a work in progress.

We cannot tear out a single page of our life, but we can throw the whole book in the fire.

I've always been a DVD geek and, before that, a laser disc fanatic, too.
