How would you sum yourself up in three words?Originally asked
The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A
The Guardian's weekly The Q&A repeatedly uses this exact standing prompt.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
Chaotic, daft and loving.

Actress, mother, grandmother.
Kind, fun and professional.
Passionate, gobby, flabby.
Unimpeachable, nonpareil, self‑effacing.
A loving father and wonderful husband, and the best actor of my generation!
Like a warm velvet glove.
Being married for 17 years and having two amazing children.
First, I wanted to be a historian, then a drummer, and after that I just wanted to be employed. And I still do.
I cry if one of the kids says something profound without knowing it; I cry at adverts; I cry at Strictly Come Dancing.
A sense of wonder.
