I think I have a very detailed sense of observation. I am interested in the details of people's lives and what information these details give.

My own belief is that most people are trying to do their best. It doesn't mean they have no nasty side, or that they don't have a bad temper, or that they have never done anything they feel ashamed of. But fiction operates on people waking up trying to be horrible, and I don't think most people are trying to be horrible.

There is almost nothing in your house that does not tell something about you.
