Who or what is your greatest love?

How can you have just one greatest love? I have so many great loves in my life and I’m grateful for all of them. My family in its entirety, for example.

When did you last lie?

I tend to bullsh*t more than lie.

Does the supernatural exist?

Absolutely.

Are you fatalistic?

I tend to think everything always happens for a reason. I’m not sure if that is fatalism or just the law of the universe? If you are kind, you attract kindness, if you build bridges, people will walk on them and help you build more, and so on. It’s the law of universal attraction.

What is your greatest fear?

I am not sure how to answer that. I am quite fearless, although if I think of a slow, painful death from a serious illness then that scares me a lot.

Animals or babies?

My own animals, and other people’s babies which I can return. I already had mine and that’s enough. We have one cat in London, four dogs in Umbria and we recently adopted a pig.

What talent do you yearn for?

Street dancing. It’s my secret aspiration. I’ve watched all the movies about dancing you can imagine. Dancing is my favourite pastime in the world.

Do you like to be complimented?

Of course! Who doesn’t?

Do you have a high pain threshold?

I think so but I have been very lucky not to have had any major accidents so far.
