As an actor, I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think he's a genius.

I think you have to judge everything based on your personal taste. And if that means being critical, so be it. I hate political correctness. I absolutely loathe it.

It simply works. You do it twice a year. Who cares? And it balances my smoking and drinking.

My own saying is: 'Create the hype, but don't ever believe it.'

Normally if I go to one of these things I'm in and out in five minutes, but at Pride of Britain I stay to the end. It's a fantastic show. But it's incredibly hard on the night when you meet all the kids and hear their stories. They do get to you.

Rules equal boredom, and I don't like that.

I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years.
