To Have A Very Strong Opinion All

In The 'garnethill' Trilogy, People Always Forget That Maureen O'donnell's Dad Was A Journalist And She Did Art History At Uni And Her Brother Did Law, But No-one Ever Thinks They're Middle-class - They're Just Working Class Because They Speak With Accents.

If You Went For A Job Interview In A Glasgow Law Firm, They Used To Ask You What School You Went To. And That Was A Way Of Finding Out What Religion You Were.

I'm Always Represented As A Bit Of A Class Warrior - A Bit Down With Men And Down With Middle-class People. Whereas I'm Actually Very Fond Of Men And Am Middle-class. I Even Went To Boarding School In Perthshire.

To Have A Very Strong Opinion All The Time Is Corrosive To A Person's Intellect. It Becomes Your Default Position.

I Think Graphic Novels Are Closer To Prose Than Film, Which Is A Really Different Form.
