Before a long-haul flight, buy yourself a cheap, big, comfortable pillow. It makes a huge difference.

My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.

I think school is so important. I was good student. A rebel, but I did well in my studies. I don't close myself to anything. I liked reading and I still love learning. I loved history and German.

I love reading. I'm very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.

I don't like myself. I'm not vain at all. I hate looking at myself - I always think I look ugly. Honest.

I like to read about subjects unrelated to my work, especially history.

It's horrible how money and fame can make you acceptable while, if you're not famous or rich, you're not acceptable.
