After 'Skins' I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.
Life's a bit like mountaineering - never look down.
I wouldn't mind being a bit taller.
I've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.

In Miami, there's a Latin flavor, and I just love every bit of it.
I have tried to make the music a bit easier for them to understand.
