It would probably surprise people to know that I'm interested in wildlife. I read a lot of poetry, too.

Lord of the Rings was something I always wanted to do. I read the book when I was about 25, and I was always hoping if it was ever made into a feature film that I would be involved in some way. And then I finally got it, and I was over the moon. It was fantastic news.

I've been accused of being a bit too keen on my football, not least by my three ex-wives.

At art college, I started to do music and then painting and drawing - and that would have been my ideal life, to be an artist and be paid for it, to be able to create stuff. I realized it was difficult, but I don't know if I had the application for it.

The thought of being in space, and kind of enclosed, I find would be very claustrophobic. I think I would panic in that situation.

I really got my money's worth from colleges in Sheffield and Rotherham because I kept dropping out, and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first, like a lot of teenagers.
