I look after myself. I train and go to the gym.

I think a lot of people have a vision of L.A. in which TV executives and movie directors plan their latest productions by the swimming pool.

Mum had a job fitting upholstery into cars, but, in the evenings, she worked as a seamstress.

When I was 10, I knew there was something different about me. Everyone was football-mad, but I just wanted to watch musicals and see art.

I'm a sucker for turquoise sea, white beaches and palm trees. I've been to the tropics every year since I could afford it. It's the perfect place to unwind. I can chill out, read, do a bit of yoga.

I love contemporary art, although I wouldn't want a pickled shark in my house.

I just like to take my time, have a cup of tea and read the paper. I don't like starting the day in a panic.
