I somehow can't remember numbers, names, and faces. I forget very easily.

I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and - I can't remember what the third thing is.

I have this horrific thing where I'm really bad with names and faces. I have an appalling memory. Someone will come up to me in the street and go, 'Eddie!', and I'll try and give myself time by going into overdrive, 'Hey, hi! Nice to see you!' and start a whole conversation because I can't distinguish between who I know and who I don't.

I'm horrible at remembering names, embarrassingly bad.

I'm, like, really bad at remembering names.

I've obviously got one of those faces that people can forget.

'The Names' is a story about a woman who might feel that she's in a kind of maze. She's unable to find her way forward or out because she can't see the whole picture.

I don't understand why people don't remember my name.

God, I'm such a lazy writer - I can't even think up new names.

My problem with new writers is that it takes me five or six years to memorise the right names.
