I think I'm much more comfortable talking about other books than my own!
I think we give too much importance to artists talking about the art and the film and the books and the plays and the music - it's done; the material is there. But we talk about it because it's part of the game. I'm comfortable with it.
I have more fun talking about other movies than talking about my own.
I'm much more comfortable singing than talking.
Well, I don't know. It's long, it's longer than both of the other books put together, so it's more ambitious. I think I get under the skin of the people a lot more than in the other books.
I think it's almost a unique control that artists can have now more than they ever did, I think if you don't be proactive about how you want your music to be visually represented, I think other people will do it for you - so how comfortable are you with people putting their own two cents on it?
I feel comfortable in my own skin writing about the things that I like because I know that there are other people out there that understand what I'm talking about.
A lot of my favourite books - I should say, not much happens in the books! It's much more about the points of view of the author more than anything else.
It's so easy to butt into a conversation and offer your own thoughts or opinions, but try not to interrupt. Instead, focus on what the other person is saying, think twice and be the person that listens. It's so much more valuable than constantly talking.
We've done a couple of women's mags, but we tend to talk about feminism and women in the industry, which I feel more comfortable talking about. It's a more valuable discussion than, 'Oh, you're a girl in a band. What hair conditioner do you use?' I use hair conditioner, and I like talking about it. But I don't want that to be the question.
Usually you tend to glean much more information about your character from what other people say about you, rather than how it's described in the books.
Examining other people's motivations, other people's language and other people's way of interacting is much more fascinating to me than spending a lot of time worrying about my own. I've said, 'What other people think of me is none of my business.'
I think if you've suffered, if you've experienced loss, you're probably more open to understanding it and more comfortable talking about it and experiencing it.
If you're comfortable with what you have and who you are, you'll automatically be more comfortable talking about your finances.
There's only one thing more embarrassing than the celebrities talking about politics; and that's politicians talking about anything other than politics.
I don't think so much about verbal comedy. I always think about visual comedy. I was raised watching silents, and I'm always thinking about how to make cinema, not good talking - although I want good talking. I'm much more interested in framing, composition, and orchestration of bodies in space, and so forth.
I have written, probably, more books for children than any other writer, from story-books to plays, and can claim to know more about interesting children than most.
