• When I first thought of the idea for 'Sweet Valley High,' I loved the idea of high school as microcosm of the real world. And what I really liked was how it moved things on from 'Sleeping Beauty'-esque romance novels where the girl had to wait for the hero.

There's a horrifying thought that I often wonder, which is, are monsters sometimes necessary?

• People always ask me what I think, if Edward Snoden is a hero, if he's a villain. I don't really tend to moralize it so much as I feel like he's a whistleblower.

Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died. That's a lesson.
