My parents. We didn’t realise how absolutely desperate they were when we left Germany, because my father couldn’t earn anything. A letter turned up fairly recently in which he said, “We’ve been through a terrible time because Julia [my mother] never stopped talking about suicide and not just for herself, but to take the children with her.”
My ex-wife, for the way I behaved towards the end of our marriage.
A boy called Norman. When I came to England, I didn’t know what kiss-chase was, and Norman kissed me on the lips, so I gave him a black eye.

Recovering from anorexia.

When I was 15, I went to a rugby match at Twickenham with my dad and we went back to his friend Hugh’s house and Hugh made me a perfect cup of tea. I just remember feeling really happy because it was such a brilliant day and I loved being with my dad.
I want people to really, really cry so The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams.
The fans’ reaction at the end of Game Of Thrones because I think it was brilliant.
I was very ill with anorexia when I was a teenager. I went into hospital voluntarily, otherwise they were going to section me.
