“I've been writing ever since I was a child: I used to give my English teacher extra homework and say, 'What do you think of it? Give me a mark.'”

“My motto is you should never take criticism from people you would never go to for advice.”

“I had a difficult start to secondary school, missing the first month because of 'Mary Poppins.' Everyone knew who I was, who my brother was - McFly were huge by then - and had made their mind up about me. One girl made everyone's life a misery, picking on insecurities. But that's just teenagers.”

“My mother was an English teacher who decided to become a math teacher, and she used me as a guinea pig at home. My father had been a math teacher and then went to work at a steel mill because, frankly, he could make more money doing that.”

“I wanted to be a high school English teacher and I looked like how I do now, but I looked even younger, and I was like, um, 10th graders are really mean and I'm too fragile for this.”

“Mitch Glazer and I went to high school together, and his mother was my English teacher for two years. She was my favorite teacher, and I followed Mitch's career as a journalist, so we've kind of kept in touch over the years.”
