I worked on a trawler and I was seasick the whole time.

On a cosmetics production line. I walked out after half a day.

In South Africa I washed cars, I danced in parking lots and shopping malls, and was a children’s entertainer.

Telesales – having to sell terrible kitchens. I thought, maybe I’m not a good actor because I can’t even convince myself that these kitchens are worth paying for.

Overthinking.

I am happy to sit in silence with my wife and I think that is a good sign – we are just happy being in each other’s company.

I bite my fingernails and the skin around them.

I always try to give honest answers, but they are fairly boring so I don't have to deal with the aftermath of any scandals.

I've never set out to be a spokesperson for women's equality. My experience of working with Amelie Mauresmo gave me a small insight into attitudes to women in sport and, because it was unusual for a male tennis player to work with a female coach, I am often asked about that. Working with Amelie was, for me, because she was the right person for the job, and not a question of her sex at all. However, it became clear to me that she wasn't always treated the same as men in similar jobs, and so I felt I had to speak out about that.
