I used to go and flatten my nose against that window and absorb all I could of his art. It changed my life. I saw art then as I wanted to see it.

It was when I saw Iggy Pop, that's what did it for me. That changed my life pretty much.

Until I was 21, I wasn't going into the media. I was a professional show jumper; I was going to have a farm... Then my father died, and it changed my life. I realised I had to have a go at being a journalist to see if I could cut the mustard.

It was Howard Hawks who changed my life.

'The Little Mermaid' changed my life.

I didn't want to be an actor. I wanted to design historical movies like 'Ben-Hur'. I saw this as my life.
