If I wasn't plagued by needing to write things, that would perhaps be a blessing.

I'm living as an artist, and that's a staggering feeling, it's a total luxury. And because you have this amazing chance, with so much freedom, I'm determined to make something that is worth that. I feel this responsibility - to create something that makes an audience feel, which takes them somewhere. But that's very hard to achieve.

I'm not a good storyteller - I much prefer to be with people who are chatty, to have the luxury of listening.
