I lead a very boring life.

I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.

I have so many themes I want to explore, so many questions I'd like to raise and develop, and hopefully, I'll get to do just that.

The events with Henry III happened, obviously the way it happened, liberties were taken.

What's it like to kiss Mel Gibson?

Left to my own devices I'd get up at midday every day of my life.

I can't sit around doing nothing. If I'm not working, I have a habit of becoming rather insular.
