- I studied Ancient Greek at university because I wanted to read Homer in his own language.
- I’m fascinated by miniatures and tiny things, and am building my own dollhouse.
- I studied to be a journalist because I thought that would provide a more reliable income than writing. I hated it because I wasn’t telling my own stories, only repeating what somebody else had already said.
- If I wasn’t a writer, I would have been a marine biologist except that I get very, very sea sick. I’m also claustrophobic under water so that was never going to work out.
- I never ever look into a mirror in a dark room.
