Q: What was the first piece of work you ever wrote?Ī: I wrote many pieces as a youngster, but my first manuscript was Tumbleweeds when I was 19 living in Paris. I entered and won many writing contests from an early age. My mother was my biggest influence, urging me to write down my life experiences and the stories I was always sharing as the family actress.

I wrote my first book when I was nineteen and shared it with a director I had just worked with. Q: What initially inspired you to become a screenwriter?Ī: I started off wanting to be a novelist actually.
