I like being around teenagers. It’s good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They’re mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.

To try and imagine that I’m another person is always going to be hard – whether I’m writing about a truck driver or someone who is gay, who’s trans, who is of a different ethnicity or creed. But it would be boring if I always had to write about myself and my limited viewpoint.
