Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.
I hope in my books I help children to see their strengths, and show them I have some idea of what they may occasionally be going through. Especially at tricky moments when it is easier to go back and evade things rather than go forwards and confront them.
I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.
