This is why I think writing's the best job because when you're acting, you are surrounded by distraction.

So you are surrounded by boom operators and camera operators and all the paraphernalia of a film set.

When I'm writing, it's just me in a little hut that I've got at the back of the garden

and there's no one else there.

And so I can disappear.

And I think the reason why these actors want to stay in their character is because sometimes it's very hard for them, with all the noise around them, to keep that concentration.

I can just concentrate effortlessly because there's nothing else.

I don't have wifi in my, in my heart.

I don't have anything in my heart.

I just, I just have my computer and I just try and absorb myself into the story.

And that's the best bit.

That's the bit that I love.

A lot of the time you're thinking very technically, so you're not able to do that, but, but.

You know, I am psychologically dependent on writing and my psychological dependence is because those moments when I just lose myself are the best moments in my life.

My wife, Rachel, before we had children, because you'll learn to understand this, there's always, there's post and there's pre.

And before we had children, if I wasn't quite engaging with the world, she would go, go away and write.

And I would go away and write and then I'd come down a human being again.

Now it would be like...

Can you go and sort this packed lunch out, please?

So it's slightly different.
