My first and last love will always be fiction. It's the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night. I love the novel because it's like a love affair. You can just fall into it and keep going, and you never know where it's going to take you.

If you want to be an entrepreneur, it's not a job, it's a lifestyle. It defines you.

I found it incredibly energising.

Climate change is often the first thing I think about it in the morning, and the last thing I think about before I go to bed.

If I was a person that felt success is money, and for some people it is, I won't yuck someone's yum - if that's your thing, that's your thing. Go for it. Make as much money as you can. I don't care.
