Film is such a very good tool for communicating emotions, and all designers and creative people look to inspire an emotional response.

I had a suit made for me when I was five. It was double-breasted, mohair and purple. My mother was very particular about clothing - it always used to have to go back into the plastic and it used to drive me insane.

You come to me and it's my job to make you look the best you can look. From an image point of view, would I prefer to dress Jude Law instead of Rolf Harris? Of course. But it's my job to make them both look great.

My wife and I have a tradition of popcorn and videos with our kids on Friday evenings.
