I don’t work a five-day week as a rule, and I’ve managed to fill that time up. It hasn’t been that hard. I volunteer at school. I’m working because I love it. Yet, I don’t not envy women who have a stay-at-home job, because you miss stuff.
I’ve jokingly said that everything I’m doing now is filling up the hours before I die, but I do feel that slightly. I have no religious beliefs so this is the ride. This is it. So I’m just like anyone, I suppose, trying to fill out the days in the most interesting way possible.

It’s rare that I actually have a story in my head. I have events or ‘what’s the next move?’ Like, Maggie, ‘where’s she going to go in this story, where’s she going to end up?’ Then the story has to fill in the in-between, and that comes as I’m starting it.

We don’t sign an artist to fill a void, ever. I’ll never find a Taylor Swift. You can’t find a new Madonna, you cannot find a Prince, a Bob Marley, a John Lennon. You won’t find another Kanye West. We simply deal with people as they walk in, and we say we either love them or we don’t.

For me personally, I was just worried that transitioning from a podcast, which is a very intimate sort of experience – people tell me they listen to my podcast while they’re at the gym or on road trips, so you’re in someone’s ear – to being on television – that’s a lot of space to fill.
