I get very antsy when I'm not occupied.

I can only be so long without work before I start getting antsy.

When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.

It's weird because if I'm not doing anything, I get antsy. I feel like I always have to be doing something.

When I'm in the midst of finishing a book, I can be working around the clock.

I find I have to give myself a day when I just shut myself off and do nothing but read.

I jog in the morning and then write for about two hours. There are times when I'm really excited and can't wait to get back to it. But there are days when I don't know what's coming next, and I really have to force it.

I'm not very good at relaxing. Reading's the main thing. On the bus, on the tube, on the loo. Literally all the time. I mean, I don't think there's a moment of the day when I wouldn't be if I was left alone.

I think I'm quite a lazy person, actually. If I'm not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

I like that kind of frantic schedule. It makes me feel like I have a purpose.
