Most people write a lot of autobiography, but when I came to write autobiography I discovered that nothing interesting had ever happened to me. So I had to take the situation and invent stories to go with it.

There may be a point where I may decide to write an autobiography.

I don't like the word 'autobiography.' I rather like the term 'autofiction.' The second you make a script out of the story of your life, it becomes fictional. Of course, the truth is never far. But the story is created out of it.

My father always told me I should be a writer, and I found I loved writing my autobiography; writing is such an interesting process.

My autobiography was simply the story of my life.

I write fiction. I make things up, it's what I do.

I've been asked to write an autobiography, and I've started it a couple of times, on different angles, and maybe one day I will, but you know what? There's time for that because I'd like to have the whole story.

Whenever I have had to write fiction, I've always had to invent a character who roughly has my background.

I usually balance out autobiography with goofy, amusing stuff to help keep the humour in my more serious work.
