Because it's the scene, if I'd read the script, I'd go, I can't wait to play that because I don't know what's going to happen.

Yeah.

I mean, I think it's the way I write.

I'm sort of creating the movie because I spend a lot of time chewing and procrastinating.

And I realise I'm visualising the world and what's going to happen in each moment.

And I'll chew over a chapter first, create the movie in my head and then just go write it down.

That feels like the easiest thing in the world to me because I'm a visual learner.

It's been a surprise, yeah.

I genuinely have lived all of my life with a slight kind of chip on my shoulder that I didn't go to university, but I was at drama school with like English majors from Cambridge and always feeling like, oh, I'm a bit stupid, aren't I?

I'll just shut up in the corner here and, you know, I'll do the Shakespeare, but they're other people's words.

But I think the toolkit that I've gathered from just the exposure I've had over the years to different kinds of drama texts, but also reading for audio.

I read, I'd never say no to an audio book because I just love it.

It's such a great exercise for an actor because you get to direct and be the architect and all of that.

So I feel like I got to a point where when I was asked to write, because I didn't submit to Audible, they said, do you fancy writing something?

I went, yeah, brilliant.

And then went, oh shit.

But then I just thought, I've got the story in my head, I've just got to get it out and organise it.

And I did think, I've got an opinion, I definitely have a way of expressing myself, so here's a chance to explore.

It's a bit more fantasy science fiction.

I really got into thrillers, obviously, when I started working in Hollywood.
