- I cried watching
-
My children being born.
- I left the cinema during
-
Showgirls and some diabolical Eastern European film starring Bruno Ganz that was about four hours long. And Inland Empire.
- Directors I love
-
Love's a bit strong: Herzog, Scorsese, Errol Morris, Spielberg and many others whose names escape me. And some when they're on form but not when they're not. I'm fickle like that.
- Actors I admire
-
Hopkins, Guinness, Stanley Tucci, Robert Duvall, Michael Sheen, Billy Bob Thornton, Paddy Cosidine, Maxine Peake, Samantha Morton, Jack Lemmon, Crowe (but I wish he'd get out of his rut). Plus lots of lesser character actors who remain anonymous but prop the rest of them up.
- Writers I respect
-
Difficult to answer. Screenwriters? Authors? I like Ian McEwan, Sadie Jones who recently wrote "The Outcast" (utterly brilliant), I thought Reservoir Dogs was a brilliant screenplay, William Goldman (Princess Bride, Butch and Sundance), John Irving, Cormac McCarthay.
- My desert island discs
-
The collected works of Goldfrapp, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode and Arvo Part. I realise the second to last dates me pretty accurately. God bless Basildon!
- Books I have given my friends
-
Herzog on Herzog, The Road, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
- My death row meal
-
A vast curry.
- The best thing I own
-
My mac & my bike.
