The concept of New Labour.

A very expensive watch. I can’t tell you what it is – I’ll get robbed.

A Savile Row suit. Never again. Although I love it, I still feel guilty about what it cost.

I went overboard on the money I invested in the production of Allegiance. It did not return, but it was fulfilling that I was able to tell a story that’s dear.

When I had a bicycle accident when I was 24. I was on a bridge going down; the bicycle broke and I smashed to the ground, face first. I broke my jaw and my teeth, and had to have plastic surgery. It all took half a year and then, funnily enough, I got my first big job – a TV series – with what I thought of then as this big, ugly scar.

Acting, when you don’t want to do it or you disagree with everything, is almost like having sex with someone you don’t like. I had one experience like that on stage, in a terrible version of The Cherry Orchard. I put on a wig, dark-coloured contacts and just hoped no one would recognise me.

My vain side would like to be remembered as someone who did good for others in some way. But I would be happy if my children remembered me.

Now. During the period of Covid, I have had the opportunity to rethink and I’ve got a new gift of cherishing now.

Warm and bubbly.
