I suppose I have an active imagination, and writing allows me to live it out.

I cook more theoretically than I do practically. My job is creative, and in the kitchen, the biggest part of my creativity is theoretical.

Part of me sees myself as talented, and the other part sees me as strange. Ideas get stuck in your head and nothing changes them. Not even fame.

I have a very vivid imagination.

I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing.

I'm a very improvisational cook. I sort of like to make things up as I go along. I'm quite creative in the kitchen.

That's why I love being a writer. My imagination can take me places I may never see except in my mind's eye.

There's a particular sensitivity required to be an artist, and a certain vulnerability, perhaps, and also, somewhere between, you're in your body a lot, too. It's much more physical than one would imagine because I think it's the body where the imagination lives somehow. I do feel the imagination isn't just in the brain up there.

I have an active imagination.
