And the best hotel you've stayed in?

The best hotel I've ever stayed in was about a month ago. I was invited to Los Angeles by Mickey Rourke, who is going to be playing me in a film about my life story. I was there for the premiere of his movie Immortals and he put me up in the Four Seasons. What made it so nice were the people working there they always had a smile on their faces and that's an important thing to me. It also had an amazing swimming pool, gym, restaurants and even the room service was great. I remember going out onto my balcony for the first time and my room was facing the Hollywood sign and the sun was shining. It's a pretty special place to be.

What do you need for a perfect holiday?

I like to go somewhere where I can hear the sea or the ocean in the morning. I like waking up close enough to hear the waves.

What do you always take with you?

I take almost everything in my wardrobe. I know I'm not going to wear most of the things but there could always be that slight chance that I may need my black tie and dicky bow. Even if I was going on a beach holiday to a desert island I would still pack my dinner jacket just in case.

What's your best piece of travel advice?

Never travel alone. If I travel alone, I'm constantly checking whether I've got my passport on me, or my wallet, even though I know I have. I can never rely on myself, so for me it's always important to take along somebody that is a lot more organised than me. Even if you have to pay somebody else to travel with you to give you that peace of mind, I'd do it.
