I felt like I messed up my marriage. I don’t feel that way any more, but at the time I was devastated.

That my baseball team, Baltimore Orioles, is always in the basement.

My wife and I were meant to meet Frank Sinatra before he went on stage in Hamburg. But there was a taxi-drivers’ strike and we were too late.

I wanted to meet Quentin Tarantino for Django Unchained but he had Jamie Foxx in mind – that one hurt.

When I was about 14 and got my first drum kit, I wanted to be a drummer in a band like the Police.

In the 1990s in New Jersey, being driven to a radio station early one morning. Our driver fell asleep and we were on the other side of a dual carriageway with cars coming at us. We all screamed and banged on the seat, and he woke up and pulled the car back across.

I haven’t really had a job. I used to work at my dad’s garden centre in my late teens, but it was just messing around.

My wife, because she manages me and sometimes there isn’t time for niceties and we have to talk in a language that isn’t very marriage-like.

I think I’d just like to be chilling out really, so it’s like real summer family holidays where the most important things to decide are what are you going to have for breakfast, what are you going to have for lunch, what beach are you going to, and what are you going to have for dinner.

I’d like to go all melodramatic and have Vide cor Meum by Patrick Cassidy from Kingdom Of Heaven. It’s also in another Ridley Scott movie, Hannibal. It’s an operatic piece and absolutely amazing. Obviously Ridley Scott thinks so, too..
