Ever Since I Was In My Teens

I've Been Watching More American Tv Because Of All The Great Tv Series That Have Come Out In The Last Five To 10 Years. I'm A 'sopranos' Fan, I'm A 'wire' Fan, I'm A 'mad Men' Fan. 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.

Not Even The Brightest Future Can Make Up For The Fact That No Roads Lead Back To What Came Before - To The Innocence Of Childhood Or The First Time We Fell In Love.

Revenge Is The Thinking Man's Reflex, A Complex Blend Of Action And Consistency No Other Animal Species Has So Far Succeeded In Evolving. Evolutionary Speaking, The Practice Of Taking Revenge Has Shown Itself To The So Effective That Only The Most Vengeful Of Us Have Survived.
