What are you driving?
A Grand Jeep Cherokee, Orvis edition.
What does that mean?
It's the top of the line Cherokee, so it's got more bells and whistles. Living in America made me a big Jeep fan. When I was a student, I had the Wrangler, then I got the Cherokee. Isn't it a cliche: men in cities driving round in bloody great Jeeps? Yes, a bit naff, isn't it? I've got a good excuse because I live in the country as well as London. It does all the off-roading. We've got an off-road course in Gloucestershire.
What does your car say about you?
That I'm a modern kind of guy. The modernisation of Britain is embodied in an American imported Jeep. A bit culturally arid, isn't it? There's that old joke: 'What's the difference between a Range Rover and a hedgehog? A hedgehog only has pricks on outside!' I'm afraid there's still a bit of truth to that. In the US, if you drive a Range Rover, you're really cool. It's all quite hip.
Describe your driving.
It's 'windows of opportunity'. When I get an opportunity to let it go, I do.
Ever suffered from road rage?
Yes, when I was working in Los Angeles. If you think London's bad, go and sit on an LA freeway for three hours and have someone pull a gun on you. I've got a simple solution. Not therapy, not Prozac - just set off 15 minutes earlier for an appointment. I'd rather do that than have to flip someone the bird, or get into a fight.
What do you listen to on the road?
In London I usually listen to Classic FM because driving there is so stressful - whether you leave early or not. If you listen to Virgin or a rap station you just get more wound up.
Have you ever had sex in a car?
Well, it depends on your definition of sex. Are we talking about the President Clinton definition of sex? Well, I've had a few fumbles, a few awkward hand movements. And I've had some inappropriate behaviour in the back seat - but I haven't had what you might call sexual relations.
