I even feel grateful for the failures.

My favourite pudding is a toss-up between cheesecake - proper, New York cheesecake - and apple crumble and custard. Custard is very important, or dark chocolate mousse. Tea: probably Earl Grey, splash of milk.

You've got to do something, even if it's just to kick-start the day. I use music. And running.

What's my guilty pleasure? The thing is, I never feel guilty about pleasures.

I've always loved King Kong. He's like a modern-day myth, an icon of the cinema.

Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.

I think we all see ourselves as the heroes in our own lives.
