I tend to opt for relaxed family holidays when I can.

Not a lot of people know this, but I'm very good at mathematics. When I was an angry teenager, I used to sit in my room and do quadratic equations to calm myself down.

Twice a week I would receive injections or IV's of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.

'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.
