Conflict is good in a negotiation process... it's the clash of two ideas, which then, all being well, produces a third idea.

I give everything far too much thought. If you think you know what you're doing, then you can kind of relax, and then you can improvise and play and just enjoy the day rather than be chasing the lines.

I was quite intrigued by the idea of following the exploits of people who are often in the margins.

I grew up on courtroom dramas, and I really love the feel of a dramatic thriller.

I don't think I'm a particularly good negotiator.

I enjoy a good reasoned argument. I love the power of logic.
