My life as an author has always been about brilliant, odd people.

The real demon in my life is my father.

I wrote about Alan Turing, the great mathematician and code-breaker. He was an absolutely different person, certainly more brilliant than I ever will be.

I've always been open about my life not because my story is unique, but because it isn't.

All my life, people have been underestimating me.

Books have always been an important part of my life.
