Apparently when I went to school, I had a Glasgow accent.

I see myself as a recovering journalist.

My feelings towards the newspapers are very affectionate.

One good thing about leaving daily journalism was that I was no longer obliged to read all the book prize short lists.

I am a print addict. I have an ebook and a computer but I remain hooked on print.

That's what I really wanted to do when I was 16, be in comics!

You will never have time for prayer; you must make time.
