I was born in….
A state of shock
I now live in…
A greater sense of wonder
But if I could live anywhere, it would be…
My spirit home, a Tudor Manor
Right now, I’m binge-watching…
Orange is the New Black. I experienced my first pangs of box set addiction with series one but since then I know a director who directed an episode and the show used 'Pretty Waste’ by my mates band so the degrees of separation have shrunk.
The last track I listened to was…
Peaches - D*** in the air. She put in an unbelievable gig at The Royal Festival Hall this year.
The app I couldn’t survive without is…
Drop. I’m learning about natural wine.
Social media is…
An opportunity that needs to be handled well
When we can travel again, I’ll be heading to…
Iceland
The most important lesson I’ve learned in 2020…
Count your blessings
The best/worst thing about lockdown was…
Best - seeing people appreciate and reconnect with the natural world. Because the future needs that.
What the film industry needs is…
More diversity
The best advice I’ve ever been given..
Be honest with yourself
My biggest inspiration is…
A defiant attitude
The person I would canonise is…
If we are talking global good here surely Attenborough
If I wasn’t... I’d be…
Gallery owner or restaurateur
My last meal would be…
The Beef En Croute at Casse Croute, in Bermondsey
