I drive. . . my sister's car, a green Honda Civic.

If I had time to myself. . . I would visit all the interesting monuments and architectural interests around the world and do drawings of them.

You wouldn't know it but I am very good at. . .

arriving on time. Being late puts people in a bad mood.

You may not know it but I am very bad at. . .

dancing. When the occasion does happen it usually means I clear the dance floor.

A book that changed me. .

Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy.

Movie heaven. . .

Monsoon Wedding (left).

When I was a child I wanted to be. . . on the Late Late Show toy special.

All my money goes on. . .

my telephone and mobile phone bill. I like talking!

At night I dream of. . . Harrison Ford (below) from his Indiana Jones days.

My biggest regret. . . is starting smoking again. I quit for three years and started again last Christmas.

If I wasn't me I'd like to be. . . a caryatid on the Acropolis.

It's not fashionable but I like. . . wearing neck scarfs, silk ones.

The soundtrack to my life. . . is Loretta Lynn.

The best invention ever. . . is photoshop. It enables one to do so much on the computer.
