I'm a sucker for turquoise sea, white beaches and palm trees. I've been to the tropics every year since I could afford it. It's the perfect place to unwind. I can chill out, read, do a bit of yoga.
My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.
When I visit a country, I like to experience local food.
I'm with people all the time so I often go away on my own.
I love reading. I'm very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.
Before a long-haul flight, buy yourself a cheap, big, comfortable pillow. It makes a huge difference.
When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing, my dad was a king of the clubs, a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover.
In America they like my spicy TV alter ego, probably because there were a lot of Italians and Hispanics in the country, but the real L.A. life is a hard-working one.
I think a lot of people have a vision of L.A. in which TV executives and movie directors plan their latest productions by the swimming pool.
In reality, nobody gets successful in America by being lazy.
I love to cook.
I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie.
If I had a place with a studio where I could paint I'd be happy.
I love contemporary art, although I wouldn't want a pickled shark in my house.
Once I moved to London I thought it was unbeatable. I work a lot in L.A. and love it, but would never give up London. It's a true world city, with an energy that's unique.
I like to read about subjects unrelated to my work, especially history.
When people speak their own language you get a much better sense of who they are.
I am a simple man.
I am down-to-earth and not one of those starry, up-their-own-butt celebrities.
I look after myself. I train and go to the gym.
