Sitting down to eat in our house is about sharing, you know, talking about the day you've had, be it in school or work or whatever, so that's very important to us.

Yes, I'm Catholic; I'm proud of it. But I had lots of Protestant friends.

The putting on of vestments and lighting candles, it's a wonderful ritual that never changes from one Mass to another.

I don't know if I'm a strict parent or a pushover.

But let's just say, I'm Irish. I grew up in the 1950s. Religion had a very tight iron fist.

But I was very, very lucky, and it was a wake up call as far as motorbikes are concerned. I never flirted with death on the bike, but now I'm totally convinced they're death machines.

I keep fit as much as I can.
