Whenever anyone calls me 'The new J..K. Rowling,' I think, 'What's wrong with the old one?'

Many people mistakenly think a new technology cancels out an old one.

I think it's important that we have a new batch of British film-makers that aren't doing the same old stuff. And that includes me.

I'll get in the face of anyone I think is wrong.

I think they look upon me as an old child, because I'm so little.

I was a shy child, and when I was 13, I started wearing braces on my teeth. I used to be acutely self-conscious, and I think writing was a way of withdrawing into my own imagination.
