AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE
“Besides people’s failures are more interesting and plausible to me than their successes. You have to write about the bad days as well as the good.”
"I wanted to write about a bunch of people who were forced to work together who were thwarted by life and having a terrible time with their careers."
"I don't want to write a big, plotted, evil-mastermind spy novel. I'm interested in incompetence, things going wrong, badly motivated stuff, and that's essentially our political reality now."
“Playing the author rather than the writer is enjoyable, but I have to go and lie down in a dark room afterwards,”
"I’ve always been immersed in other people’s stories which naturally lends itself to creating your own. I couldn’t do anything else. Writing still totally enthrals me.”
