Adults lie to themselves all the time about what is acceptable, but kids know what is right and wrong.

I have written in a lot of genres, that's true, and I'm not sure it's always served my career well.

It's easier to get into controlling relationships when you're young because you're much more eager to please, and controlling men pick up on that. If they like to make decisions for you at the start of a relationship, it can be a warning sign.

It would appear that I just love writing many different stories.

Anybody's life is probably a mess of secrets and lies when you boil it right down.

I've seen a range of children's personalities, so it's easier to write about them without patronising them, I think.

Maybe even at six or seven, I knew that, sweet as they were on the surface, all fairy tales needed a feminist shake up.

Anyone who has to have the word 'charming' in their name probably isn't - just take a look at any dating site where men use 'prince charming' in their description.

I'm very much, like, 'We've all got to help each other.' If there's a new female writer, I'm much more likely to read her book than if it's by a new male writer.

Basically, I just write whatever story grabs me rather than considering the genre.
