I've not worked with Martin Freeman. I've hung out with him, but I've not worked with him.

I have battled clinical depression and have come out of the other side. I've been free of it for many years now. Finding the place in my own mind and heart to win that battle without using medication, finding the place within myself where I could be alive again, that was one of the biggest challenges I've faced.

I was a good student, I was good at soccer, I was vice president of the student council, I was a pretty girl.

If you can't sit in a cafe quietly and be ignored, how can you observe human nature and write a story?

Even if you're unhappy, just pretend that you're happy. Eventually, your smile will be contagious to yourself. I had to learn that. I used to think, 'I'm being fake,' but you know what? Better to be fake and happy than real and miserable.

I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.
