We're very much perfectionists, so when we're putting on a huge show and want to play to the best of ability, we rehearse intensely.

The way I found time to write 'The Imperfectionists' was that I took work as a copy editor at the 'International Herald Tribune' in Paris, working full-time for approximately six months, then taking my savings from that and writing full-time, then returning after six months, and so on, until the book was done!
