I live in Beverly Hills and I'm proud of it. The only things I miss are pie and mash shops and football games. I've lived in America longer than I lived in England. When I first got here, it just felt right to me. I like the open space, and the weather's great.

I was a kid who loved to read. I read everything I could get my hands on. I didn't have one favorite book.
