I have this propensity to just come out and say things. That's how I am in real life.

I am sweet and diplomatic in real life.

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.

If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.

If you're a novelist, as I am in real life, you're usually so desperate for any kind of feedback.

I write from real life. I am an unrepentant eavesdropper and a collector of stories. I record bits of overheard dialogue.
