1. What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?
This is tricky, but I suppose the point of superlatives is to be tricky. Quite possibly the lower chapel of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris - it certainly left an impression.
2. What is your greatest dream in life?
Honestly, I don't have any, any more. There were things I wanted to do - be a parent, get elected as an MP - which I now realise just aren't going to happen. I no longer believe it's possible for people to make a significant difference in the world, no matter how hard they try - I banged my head against this wall for 20 years, and I'm ready to move on. So basically I'm just pottering around enjoying myself until I retire and/or die.
3. What is the best book you have ever read?
This question is the reason it's taken me so long to post this. The answer I keep coming back to, in terms of its influence on me, is Jeffy, the Burglar's Cat. "Think before you act, and wash before you think" indeed.
4. What is your most cherished childhood memory?
Probably aged about 5 or 6 at Christmas, making a Lego space station with my grandparents in the kitchen of my parents' house.
5. What is your best character trait or strength?
Resilience. The last few years would have killed me several times over without it.
