I damaged all the complicated bits of the brain to do with processing and emotional control. I was prey to every single emotion that swept over me and I couldn't deal with it. I had to re-learn things from scratch.

I had post-traumatic amnesia, five-second memory, it happens as a result of brain injury.

I mostly drive around in a Fiat 500 TwinAir, and that's a pretty small car!

For somebody who has injured their brain, every single thing they say and think will be the subject of their own questioning.

Forty is brilliant and I love it. I'm happier now than when I was 20.

I run a lot. I have this five-mile run that I try and do a few times a week. If I do more, I get shin splints and it drives me mad, so I have to balance it.
