You know, I think, especially when you're in your 50s, you've just got to say yes to new things.

You've got to challenge yourself to do new things.

And when someone says, will you come to the Oscars and we'll pay for you to come?

You don't say, actually, no, I've got another chapter to write.

I don't know.

We'll see.

I mean, at the moment, I still feel novels are a thing that I always want to do.

I think I've always, always wanted to do and always, I think, will want to do.

So that's always been my first love in life.

Well, I really loved the Moomins.

I loved Hubert Janssen.

She is my icon.

I have a little statue of Moominmama in my kitchen.

I've got one by my desk.

Yeah, that's one of my favourites.
