“I love writing plays because they are living, fluid things that are energised by the producer, designers, musicians, actors and audience.”

“I met Eva Ibbotson before I became a writer myself, and was in awe of her then.”

“I love writing picture books and story books because of the exciting, visual life that artists and illustrators give to them. And most of all, I love writing novels because of the inner, emotional journeys that they take me on. Hopefully, the reader comes with me!”

“Only amazing designers think of the truly new.”

“I've always been a clothes horse, and I spend a lot of money on designers.”

“I really like looking at what's new in my favourite designers' stores, even if I don't buy anything.”
