I was always Luke because I had blond hair, and my mate Stu was Han. Han was the cool one. The Jedi were never the cool ones.

All I need is some cool bud and some tasty hanging change-ups, and I'm fine!

It's worrying to think more than half the world's population lacks internet access and therefore lacks an equal opportunity to improve their lives.

I am rather discreet and shy!

I like going into a school matinee. I like to be behind the stage because there's a spy-hole and what you see is the best moment in all theatre.
