Some of my earliest work was in comics. I tend to think in pictures and always like to write scenes possessing the dynamic you find in comics.
I have a kind of innate sense of structure, which also makes me a good mimic.
I really did have a very egalitarian upbringing.
I come from an almost wholly secular background and have no quarrel with religion.
I had this funny family. At one end, they were breeding dogs in south-east London - for greyhound racing - and at the other, my uncle was living in Downing Street. And I would actually go to Downing Street, which didn't strike me as funny. I'd get on the number 15 bus.
