I practice staying calm all the time, beginning with situations that aren't tense.

I'm always pretty tense about everything when it comes to work.

I've made mistakes, usually when I felt backed against a wall or faced enormous pressure. I'm human and flawed.

I have to write because if I don't get something down then after a while I feel it's going to bang the side of my head off.

I come from a violent background. So I became hard. I realised that I had made myself that way to deal with a feeling of abandonment and shame.

Every time I wake up, I see myself like somebody beat me up.

I used to not back down from a challenge.

If you think negatively, it's hard to get out of tense moments.

I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself.
