I was blessed to grow up in really interesting times and to go back to a home where I was very safe.

The environment in which I studied was so safe, I thought I would die from the boredom of it.

I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.

Everything I do is the environment.

Living in the projects helped me with this role.

Being isolated and on-location can be helpful in terms of being completely dedicated to the work, but somebody like me can also be dangerous in terms of this intense sort of void that you kind of potentially fall into.

In this situation I was constantly exposed to danger and death.

All those hours exploring the great outdoors made me more resilient and confident.

I became a writer in spite of my environments.

I realised I had to work in something creative, but with a business and global element. And that I had to do it while I was still young and had an appetite for risk.
