When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I spend time with my partner, I walk my dogs..I read, write, travel..watch films. When I am working on a TV show or a film it seems like every hour of the day is taken up, it is all consuming and I manage none of the above. I work and I sleep and I pay the dog walker!
I try and be a better friend but am terrible at keeping up with it all.
I don't know where the days go.
When I was a child I didn't understand my grandmother when she told me the days go faster as you get older. Now I understand.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
'Charlotte's Web' by E.B.White. I loved it as a child. The comradeship , Charlotte the spider's protests, Fern's love of Wilbur and the horrors of his potential slaughter. It has stuck with me all this time. I am a huge supporter of 'Compassion in Word Farming' and I don't eat meat..perhaps Charlotte's webs are still in there!
