I always liked the idea of leadership and being a captain.

I always loved the retail entertainment sector, like FAO Schwartz, where it's a little more exciting than just going into a little corner deli candy place.

My favorite place in the world is my dad's house in Montauk.

I think people always want candy, whether you're a kid or an adult.

I am a total loser, in every aspect of my life. I rarely go out. I have a great family and we spend all our time together. I work hard and play hard with them.

I've written a book; I've become a better husband and father because I'm home every day. My connection to the Hollywood world has only been through Facebook.

It is ironic that it doesn't matter how successful I am in any other capacity: ultimately, my parents' marker is 'Do you have a wife?' and 'Do you have children?'

The school holidays were always an exciting time in the Brownlee household. This was the opportunity for my brother Alistair and me to escape from the classroom and enjoy the great outdoors. Our childhood was jam-packed with fun family games and activities.
