I really don't have a problem showing the ugly side of people. If that means my wearing no makeup, that's fine. To me, that's beautiful.

There's only so many times you can read how ugly you are and how much people hate you.

I'm happy that I have a look, but I don't over-analyse whether or not it's beautiful or ugly.

I try and write honestly about what I see around me now.

I sublimate different parts of my personality through my characters. Which is worrying, as some of them can be a bit nasty. I'm pleased the stuff on the page isn't inside me any more.

My style is where you see the individual and where a personality is communicated through actions, decisions, single objects and facts, where the whole draws together to form a history.

Well, the attractive thing about the subject of happiness is that it is notoriously difficult to write.

Very ugly things were said about me.
