"People who are very successful have a good idea of what they want. I haven’t necessarily done the right thing"
"Only fairly recently have I worked out exactly what I wanted.
Having spent my early career editing other writers’ work and not believing in my own writing abilities, I slowly began to write the odd review and interviews with actors and playwrights.
A few years later, having worked frantically as journalist, I had a very good idea of what I wanted: to work freelance, entirely from home on my own terms."
