That's the tricky thing these days: being able to surprise people.

That element of surprise is what I look for when I am writing. It is my way of judging what I am doing - which is never an easy thing to do.

The thing I have always tried to do is surprise people: to present them with something they didn't expect.

I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

I quite like the element of surprise, and as much as I have my ideas, I always appreciate ideas that come from other people as well, and I love the mystery of not knowing.

I like to do things that are surprising and different.

I like to shock people.

I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.

I like life to surprise me.
