I think that a lot of people I'm close to feel that they went through a period of real difficulty when they moved away from home... You do have to reinvent yourself, and people have to struggle with that. It was really a struggle for me.

I've learned to compensate for my small size.

Anne Elliot was the one Jane Austen character I didn't fall in love with. She seemed sad and defeated.

The idea of a piece of literature as a vessel that could contain your life and lived after you had died and been forgotten struck me as akin to artificial intelligence.

Female poets in the 17th century had these very confined, restricted lives.
