“I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juice…” — Miranda Richardson

London keeps me grounded. We don't get praised every time we open our gobs there.

I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.

I'm not someone who can lie on a beach and do nothing. I am not sure what you are supposed to do, so I get bored. I prefer to have a purpose, such as going to Alaska to see orca whales.

For years, I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled, it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate, particularly to places which have amazing wildlife, such as Antarctica, India and Patagonia.
