If you get that daily, it is going to start changing the way you feel

Fiction is participative. When you get into it, it’s about you exercising your imagination. And if you can no longer exercise your imagination because it has atrophied, you have reality television and books about multiply abused amputees because it’s great to stare at them because they’re animals and your life is so miserable that you really need programmes about people who are excessively miserable to make you feel better. But use of the imagination means that you can make your life or someone else’s life better and that they’re humans with interior lives and not just somebody on EastEnders going, ‘You stupid cow.’ It means you have the imagination to change the government, to know when you’re being lied to
