At school, I was the classroom clown - I was always being thrown out for being naughty. Before I left, a teacher called me in and suggested I became an actor.

New York is vibrant, sexy, naughty, always surprising, and has great live music and great fashion.

Normally for work I will fly business class.

I always get this feeling on my last day of work that I'm never going to work again.

Working at the National Theatre is just wonderful. There is no place like the South Bank on a summer's afternoon.

Fatherhood is a joy. I feel very lucky to have a family. It gives you a perspective on things.

Forget fashion, dress for comfort and for ease of getting through security, so no hats, belts or unnecessary accessories.
