On a motorway three years ago. An HGV hadn’t seen me and pulled out. My father-in-law’s a truck driver and he said black cars are not very visible. I don’t drive them any more.
Probably when I didn’t sleep for a week on drugs in 2009. I’d had a lot of meth and my heart felt like it was giving out. I remember climbing over balconies really high up, and I thought I was going to die, until I eventually fell asleep in someone’s garden.
When I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for charity. It was horrendous.
Scuba diving in Costa Rica. My stunt double and I were trying out some equipment that let us talk to each other and I ran out of air at 80ft - probably because I talked too much. I had to use his air. Then we were surrounded by sharks. It was scary.
I spent about five years living in Paris thinking I would become Kristin Scott Thomas, and it didn’t happen.
I think we go back into the earth.
A receding hairline.
Ponderous, over thinking.
Someone said that I had a laugh like Jimmy Carr.
You can only do one thing at a time.
