It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do. Rather than waiting around for the right script to come along, I decided to write one myself.

The thing about good writing is it has a music to it.

It's hard to write a good play because it's hard to structure a plot. If you can think of it off the top of your head, so can the audience.

Writing is like a rollercoaster ride for me, an adventure. I love exploring the world through 'playing' people who are absolutely nothing like me.

Other people can write grown-up, political plays about the troubles in the world. My plays deal with magic and hope.

I've never written a play before, and I'll never write one again. You can quote me.

If you have a good story idea, don't assume it must form a prose narrative. It may work better as a play, a screenplay or a poem. Be flexible.

I write plays about big, intense subjects.

Before trying a novel I wrote a couple of plays.
