Is there a film star, pop star, artist or writer you admire? And why . . .

Jude Law, just because he's sooooo freakin' hot! Really though, it's the drummer from Incubus, Jose Parsillas. Why? Everything about him, his musicianship, his art work, his look and he's a funny guy.

Is there a TV programme you couldn't live without?

No. I don't watch much TV but The Simpsons comes top of the pile.

Do you remember the first record you bought – what was it, and where did you buy it?

Blood Sugar Sex Magic by Red Hot Chili Peppers, from HMV in Peterborough. I was 11, so my dad had to hand the money over at the counter because of the all swearing on it. I've recently got the T-shirt as a birthday present!

Tell us about a recent discovery . . . something you've seen or heard recently that you would recommend . . .

The White Stripes' Icky Thump is a great album. I wasn't really interested in The White Stripes before this but now I very much rate Jack White.

Tell us about any guilty pleasures lurking in your CD or film collections – something you know is a bit rubbish but you just can't help yourself.

I've bought a few Robbie Williams CDs in my time. To be honest, they're collecting dust, but Michael Jackson's Bad gets a regular airing. I'm also a sucker for the film Big Daddy with Adam Sandler.

Do you have a favourite film?

Jaws. I've loved sharks since I can remember, but the film is just amazing. The contrast between the three characters on the boat is transfixing, and they all have some of the best one-liners in the history of film . . . "Never go swimmin' with bow-legged women" – I live my life by that rule.

And how about a favourite album?

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – a massive breakthrough in pop music and all recorded on four tracks . . . get your head around that! It was John, Paul, George and Ringo at their most creative as a unit.

And a favourite book?

Wayne Rainey's autobiography – he's one of the all-time greats in motorcycle racing, the man's bloody mindedness and sheer determination is incredible.

Is there a song or individual piece of music you always come back to?

Circles, by Incubus.
