For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well, semi-normal.

I am who I am, in terms of shooting from the hip occasionally.

I don't mind anyone asking me any questions, I've got nothing to hide. I like it to be as real as it is; that's what I call an interview. I'm not someone who's like 'Right, you can't ask this, that, this, that, this, that.' It's got to be a real interview. I've literally got nothing to hide.

I would like to be known for honest, relatable writing and stories that that are real.
