I'm pretty rubbish, as we say in Britain, artwise, and I always envy people who can pick up something and even do just a little doodle of someone that looks vaguely like them. It's impressive.

I think I've always been kept grounded. I've never been too involved with the movie business apart from just doing the film. I've never moved out to LA like a lot of people or been too drawn in by that.

There's never been a particular band that I've followed religiously. But I do tend to listen to sadder music.

I'm not a sad person, upset the whole time, but I seem to be quite emotional.

I never really acted at school. It was doing small parts on TV that really got me started.

I like all sorts of chocolate. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, anything.

Cinema Paradiso' is a fantastic film, I love that.
