I read a lot of heavy literature when I'm on set, so on holiday I want to indulge in something light-hearted.

I've had that experience of not liking people very much, but having tremendous respect for them.

Documenting trips makes them that much richer. I stick in train tickets and business cards from restaurants. It makes the whole experience poetic, describing the sights, smells and sounds around me. It means I can relive the holiday years later.

I loved watching theatre, and film, and television. It was a fantastic outlet and my favourite thing to do. I can't remember the decision. It just felt like a completely natural thing... I just completely felt drawn into it and seduced by it all. I found myself going into it.

Skiing in Whistler was great fun. It's an extreme environment that's very different to my own and I had never skied before, so I had to learn to take on the elements quite bravely. It was nice to try something new.

I'd love to do an action movie. Something with lots of stunts. Anything fast and dangerous and involving guns.
