Dry and sometimes eccentric. If I could describe it through TV Shows… I love Peep Show, Fleabag but also Shitts Creek and the White Lotus.

What is your biggest fear?
Jellyfish and wasps.

Joaquin Phoenix in Joker, wow. Jack Nicholson’s smile melts my heart and his voice is so iconic. Olivia Coleman in the Favourite was just fantastic, and I loved her awkwardness on stage, blowing a raspberry down the mic when receiving her Oscar! I love Uma Thurman’s kick-ass ability. Bill Murray’s charm. Tom Hardy (just because).
Directors / films?
Hayao Miyazaki for his gorgeous studio Ghibli features. Wes Anderson for the cinematography and absolute eye candy. Quentin Tarantino for the Americana fix. Ridley Scott for my visit to Blade Runner dystopian world. Sofia Coppola to escape to that bar with Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.
