I love buying flowers, they add so much life to the house (even though they are technically dying in front of your eyes) They don’t need to be fancy - cheap ones from the local supermarket will do. I like the ceremony of arranging them in a vase and placing them on a random shelf and seeing new colours quite literally blossom. I wish people bought me flowers more, that's really the only gift I crave. If I had it my way I would live in a greenhouse.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

I love eggs. Not only are they versatile, they are beautiful. From that perfect oval shape when whole to a puddle of whites and yolk when cracked, their appearance (and taste!) can take on many forms. My apartment in London is somewhat egg themed…I have a rug in the shape of a fried egg, a painting of an egg hung up on my kitchen wall and I keep my jewelry on a ceramic fried egg. I love yellow and white as a colour combo - it is very chic.

I feel like I used to be a lot smarter than I am now, so in a desperate attempt to regain brain cells I have been paying attention to the news. Woo! For a while now, every morning I will listen to the Guardian newspaper's daily news podcast - it focuses on a topical subject within world politics - the latest failing by the Government or the fallout of a natural disaster. It's insightful, nuanced and balanced…And makes me feel like less of an idiot

Ever since I can remember I have loved pasta with tomato sauce. If someone put a curse on me which meant I could only eat pasta pomodoro for the rest of my life I would say “omg yay”. I am a pasta pomodoro connoisseur - I have eaten it all over the world, from Japan to Cuba. It is also one of the only dishes I can cook myself (apart from eggs as we know). Recipe: Slow roast cherry tomatoes in the oven with oil, salt and garlic on a low heat for 2 hours and then add in the pasta - yum!
