Samantha Bond

I'm an appalling flyer. I get very tense, although I no longer weep uncontrollably for no reason - I just sob if there's turbulence.

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.

Wherever I went, crowds appeared again, and I started making solo albums for the first time in my career.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I haven't seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven't seen anything. I don't really care.
