I have always been interested in people who live outside of the fabric of the norm.

I suppose I am interested in the variety of human life - how people live. I am most interested in individuals and how they respond to challenges or to difficulties or just to each other. I am curious about people.

Usually when I'm trying to establish character, I try and find out where they live.

I'm interested in people who have to overcome obstacles, people who are not sheltered by the umbrella of the establishment, marginals.

I suppose I am interested in women plus anonymity plus disappearance.

I have always been interested in the paranormal and afterlife, everything from ghosts to angels. I think that everyone has that curiosity of the great unknown.

I'm always interested to meet my friends' parents, or who they were raised by. Where they grew up, I always find very interesting.

I talked to women who lived there, to get their speech patterns and outlook on life - and how narrow that is.

What interests me is trying to catch the reflection of the human being on the page. I'm interested in how ordinary people live their lives.
