I've got four dogs, eight chickens, 10 sheep and six pigs.

Mum and Dad died of heart problems, my grandparents died of it, my sister has had mini strokes, my brother has had a heart attack - it's genetic; there's nothing I can do.

Writing is such a solitary existence, and I can only do it late at night.

great home
I only like doing live telly. It's great because you go in and do it and then go home. No edit, no retakes.
