I think I'm somebody who takes praise with a very big - probably too big - pinch of salt.

I like writing people from a slightly sharp angle and then throwing more light on them. I think in life we see somebody and make judgments very quickly about who they are and what they are. Or we think people are boring because they appear ordinary.

But I think it's intoxicating when somebody is so unapologetically who they are.

I think lots of ideas are sometimes in our heads without us quite, you know, knowing it.

I think of myself as a very ordinary person. I like writing about the juxtaposition between people: the beauty of them at times and then the banal, everyday context in which we find ourselves.

The negativity will always be there. I think that's for any actress or actor. But I think you've got to take it with a pinch of salt.
