I'm a 'Deadwood' fan. It makes me optimistic for the future of storytelling on TV that producers are willing to take that kind of jump.”
“All my friends who wanted to write had got nowhere trying to write the great European novel. So I deliberately steered clear of that and set out to write something story-led.”

“I write something that I believe I've made up, and it's only when a friend later points it out to me that I realise I've been writing about myself again.”
