I remember doing the film 'Silver Dream Racer' in which the English version had me being blown up on the bike and the American version was changed because he'd just won. I think we Brits seem to like a bit of negative drama at the end.

I developed a passion for American blues music, and I'd buy albums from a record shop in Soho, which I played on my Dansette record player. My favourites were blues legends Memphis Slim, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters.

I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life, and it's myself at eight. Because that's when the forces of imagination have the same value as the real world, when they're an instrument of survival: when my mother disappeared, and I imagined a mother. That was me at my best.
