thinking years giving
A 20-year-old is never going to give death a second thought, whereas someone in their late 50s is going to think about it... I don't know, 20 times a day.
crazy age looks
I had no intention of providing any answers or solutions, because you'd only look a fool, but I did want to talk about what it's like to be in a state where you're wondering. And perhaps I was also receptive to the fact I was entering middle age and those thoughts come - to pretend that they don't come is just crazy.
country growing-up healthcare
If you're growing up in times of peace and live in a country where there's plenty of food and good healthcare, you grow up without any relationship with death.
thinking giving people
We give each other a wide berth even if we have the flu, let alone... So, I think that's part of the stigma that people who have diseases suffer. It's almost infectious... if somebody is closer to death, they're almost a bad omen and I think that's terrible.
book writing stories
It might be more difficult because you haven't got a book or a prop, but for the most part I like to write unpaid... initially and my own stories.
book play people
There are so many other people involved in the making of a play or a television series or whatever... even if you're a novelist there's so much in just the marketing of a book, or even the time... the zeitgeist, the moment at which it comes out. There's a lot you can't control.
giving work-out sometimes
I give everything my best shot and sometimes it doesn't work out and other times it works out much better than you thought.
minutes do-the-best
You can only do the best you can in the minute that you're doing it.
mistake work-out people
You're working with other people and sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want, and sometimes you didn't realise what a mistake you've made until you see it projected.
trying
I just try and do something good. But as a writer, you're slightly out of control.
watches done
I never go back over something I've done and I never watch them again.
writing moments
The thing that I'm most in love with is the thing that I'm writing at the moment.
moments
I'm always pre-occupied with what it is that I'm doing at the moment.
writing who-i-am ideas
I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.
