Roman’s wife Sharon Tate had been murdered by Charles Manson the year before, but Roman had been through so much leaving the Warsaw ghetto that he was very strong and private.
I love Tate Modern; there’s such great style and shopping here. I love the galleries and the pubs out on the street, just having your pint as the sun is setting.
You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I’ll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.
What I would love to do is more telly comedy. I did a tiny bit in ‘Toast of London’ and was in one episode of Catherine Tate’s ‘Nan.’ I was crying with laughter.
A very beautiful honey blonde, Sharon Tate, looked into the eyes of the man who the evidence shows just four and a half months later would order her tragic and violent death.

If you want the belt, you have to go drive it through and try to get it like I did against Miesha Tate.
I think that when a film does its job, it poses questions rather than gives answers. It should act as a frustrating counselor who, at your bidding for advice, says, ‘What do you think?’ I think that’s some of what the culture critic Greg Tate meant by art leaving a ‘metaphysical stain.’
All of my friends at drama school were still sat on the floor doing voice exercises and I was doing scenes with David Tennant and Catherine Tate.
For centuries, the arts and philanthropists have worked well together: look at the Tate family and the Courtaulds. If you’ve been fortunate enough to have some success in business, I think it’s important to put something back.
