It's difficult to keep in touch with someone when you're moving around all the time. I've decided that you can have it all, but you can't have it all, all of the time.

For years, I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled, it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate, particularly to places which have amazing wildlife, such as Antarctica, India and Patagonia.

It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.

I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.

Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.

I like people to be surprised by the turn of events. I don't want things just to be pat and formulaic. If there's some sort of internal combustion in the character or a desire to change the way things are going, that makes for conflict, which is the essence of drama.

If somebody says, "Oh, we're going to improvise!," I'm like, Oh, get me out of here.
