“I'd like to play a horse, many people think I already have. Either end of the ho…” — Dawn French

Evolving into a middle-aged person is quite interesting if we can understand what it means. I would like to think it meant being a bit sure of what I want.

I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else.

I know what it's like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet.

I'll always be a fat girl and I am happy with that.
