   Why did Haig start writing?

   • “I started writing out of a desire to not always be part of the picture, but to actually create the framed object itself. I wanted to be on the other side of things. And I wanted to have a quieter side to creativity, rather than always slotting into the craziness of rehearsal rooms,” Haig says.

   What makes Haig a good interviewee?

   • Haig – sat on a sofa in his south London home, tablet in one hand, glass of wine in the other, sprawling family spread throughout the house – is an affable, articulate interviewee. He is a bit like the stress-ball characters he often plays on screen, but far friendlier and far more relaxed. He exudes exactitude but not anxiety.
