I've set the bar quite high in terms of storytelling.

Everyone's clamoring for the fourth book in the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy, which makes me laugh. Just the part of 'a fourth book in trilogy' that makes me laugh, not the clamoring for the next book.

I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.

I'm looking forward to getting back to my house and my Ugg boots and not washing sometimes, and getting back to writing.

I'm a bit of a control freak.

I think women love to read love stories.
