I had periods when I was out of work, and I still do - I just don't worry about them as much any more.

I have been working since I was 11 on everything including period dramas.

I'm a sucker for period pieces. There is always great opportunity for research and to delude yourself into feeling like you are in a different time and place.

I have had periods when I've overused a word, 'candent' being one example, but I'm trying not to do that any more.

I've certainly had periods when I felt like life was winning and I was losing, so I think everybody can relate to that quandary - the temptation to give in, to give up, and then what It takes to keep going.

I had a bit of a male menopause. It started at the age of 18 and continued until I was 45.

I went through a really low period about 13 years ago, when all aspects of my career and everything went completely wrong.

There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.

More than periods where I don't write anything, I have periods where I just write junk and I know I'm writing junk but I can't stop.
