The public mistakes I’ve made. Most recently, I tried to light an e-cigarette on an aeroplane and was told to put it out. I completely forgot I was on a plane. I’d had, like, three drinks, but it only takes three. I stopped as soon as I got off and I got straight back into my programme, because that’s what I do.
I would never have gone on a diet. I would go back with the knowledge that not being perfect is fine.
I would not toy with people's affections as much.
I wouldn’t change anything. Life is what it is, you just have to get on with it.
There wasn’t a lot of bullying at my school, but there was a fair amount of ragging – and I knew which side I wanted to be on. I’d say sorry to anyone who felt picked on.
In my teens, an accountant. In my 20s, either a rock star or a novelist.
Fondly and down the centuries. I think partly what drives writers to write is the yearning for immortality.
