My first book, 'Fast Forward', was about growing up in the shadow of Hollywood and how kids are affected by the culture of materialism and the cult of celebrity, and I've often felt the reason my work has an audience in the U.K. is because it's everything the British love to hate about the Americans.

I focus on a lot of women's issues.

I am very lucky that my first film was fully commissioned by HBO.

My photography is often a sociological look at American culture, and it's been very well published in the U.K.

A lot of people have experienced a relationship betrayal, even if it was when they were 16 and with their first love.

The rules of friendship are tacit, unconscious; they are not rational. In business, though, you have to think rationally.

It's about a father and daughter and the daughter's friend and her relationship with her current husband.

I'm very excited to see where the characters and their relationships go. But in the end, it really boils down to the people who have more power than me, who control the money.
