What are your   "I collect James Bond videos. I've got six Sean Connerys,
obssesions?     seven Roger Moores, one George Lazenby, two Timothy Daltons
                and a Pierce Brosnan. I bought a safari suit for ￡15 the
                other day in a second-hand shop in London, probably
                subconsciously because it was a bit James Bond-y.
                "I love The Bee Gees as well, especially Barry Gibb - he was
                so corny he was cool. Can I imagine Bee Gees fans being into
                Mansun? Well, there are Bee Gees fans in Mansun... I love
                that look: the flares, the tight trousers. And "Saturday
                Night Fever" (featuring Bee Gees soundtrack) - that bit where
                John Travolta's sitting down at dinner, ready to go out, with
                a towel on and his dad hits his hair - brilliant."
