What are you driving?
A black BMW 320i. It's quite sporty but not flash.
What does that say about you?
I like to have fun.
What do you like about it?
I love it because it's easy to drive - it has a good kick to it with lots of power and I feel safe.
Why did you buy it?
I had just started to earn money as an actor and I needed a car. I'd always wanted a BMW and this one just called out to me from the car lot.
What kind of driver are you?
Good. I don't batter the car. I'm pretty careful but there's a difference between careful and boring. I don't crawl along at 20 miles an hour.
Any bad habits?
I'm not going to admit to any.
Any driving test tales?
I passed third time when I was 17 - although I looked 12.
What was your first car?
A battered Ford Escort mark II that cost £200. At the time I thought it was brilliant.
What do you use your car for?
It's a luxury. I use it when visiting friends or my parents.
Have you experienced road rage?
Yes. It's always frustrating but I'm calm on the roads and tend to approach things sensibly. Once or twice I've had to get out of the car and say "Be careful" to other drivers.
What sort of state is your car in?
It's pretty tidy except for the glove compartment, where it's carnage - full of tapes and books, cloths, all sorts - but that's ok, it shows it's lived in.
What's in the boot?
Two big Sony speakers that I'm trying to get repaired.
Have you ever had sex in a car?
No, but I've had a few snogs.
What music do you listen to on the road?
I make compilation tapes of whatever music I'm into. Recently it's been Marvin Gaye, Supergrass, Moby, the Charlatans. I love being on a long stretch with my tapes.
What would be your dream car?
An old 60s Mercedes 280SL - the epitomy of cool except the image of its driver is that of retired gents who play golf. I want to reclaim it for the youth.
Who would be your dream passenger?
Someone like Helena Christensen. She'd be a good passenger for Sunday picnics.
Did you get to keep the jeep from Queer as Folk?
No it was given as a raffle prize to the Terrence Higgins Trust.
