I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.
For me, basketball kind of mirrors life. It sounds deep, but the sport has transformed my personality and my daily coping mechanisms. It has meant a lot.

I'm obsessed with adolescence. I love to write about people in their 20s. It's such a fraught and exciting and kind of horrible time.
I love 'Anne of Green Gables.' I have for years. That's one of my favourite things. She's such a can-do kind of girl; that's why I'm crazy about her.

One thing I've learned, in the face of all kinds of indignities, domestic workers take so much pride in their work and love the children they care for.
I love doing heightened reality stuff, and having fun with the characters I play, especially in a kind of darker way, which I don't get to do in 'Primeval' at all.
