My grandfather was a vicar, and there was quite a lot of churchgoing when I was growing up. It's a world that I spent a lot of time around.

My dad was a civil servant, and my mum was a secretary.

I'm sure all parents think their kids are funny, and I'm sure a lot of kids are, whether their parents are comics or not.

If I can laugh with people, it makes me feel safe with them. If I feel someone has no sense of humour, I find it really scary. I do it with the kids as well: put on stupid voices to lighten up the spirit or gee them along to do something.

They do not want people committing violence, either in their community or in the name of their faith, and so some of our most productive relationships are with people who see things and tell us things who happen to be Muslim.

The relationship with my people, the Nigerian people, is very good. My relationship with the rulers has always been problematic.

When I write a team book, it's all about how they relate to each other and what they bring to the team and the book. Whether it's Black Canary and Huntress or Bane and Scandal, I look for a relationship that people can believe in, that they want to follow and learn more about.

For me, I'm not a jealous person. That's just not my thing. You have to have trust in your relationship.
