Do not miss your children's childhood. Do not be away 200 nights a year as I was. Do not put strains on your marriage or family.

I was always fascinated by politics, and I did not like the direction the country was going under Bill Clinton.

When I was 16, I used to hang out at the Nambucca pub in North London and see The Libertines play live.

I adore my apartment in New York. It was a ballroom that I remade, so it's like a loft but done by Louis the Fifteenth.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
