My grandfather on one side was trained as a cabinetmaker but eventually worked as a coachbuilder and then built cars. I inherited from him a love of cars, but with no technical ability whatsoever, sadly!

I would love to act. I probably won't make it to Hollywood at 42 years of age, but I'd love to act.

At home I drive an old Land Rover.

My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red, like the one in 'The Blues Brothers.' I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it, which broke my heart!

I do not see how hanging litter louts up by their heels and beating them with sticks could be considered a crime.

I think a basic level of fitness can help the body cope with all manner of incidents.

Im not reckless. I was never reckless.
