What music are you listening to at the moment?
Um, it's very haphazard, always. There's an American singer called Kelly Joe Phelps, who I've got quite a passion for. I like the new Blur album, actually. And the Flaming Lips. Do you know them? I like Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots....more

Interview: "Colin Firth: Time Traveler" by Michele Hatty (USA Weekend)
"Children make you feel mortal," Firth says. "Before you have kids, there's an invisible thread that's attached to your youth and your birth in some way. Once you've got them, that thread is now attached to the other end of your life somehow. It's their turn to be beginners. You have to move over."

What's the biggest lie you ever told to pick up a woman?
CF: I've never said that I was the president of a South American country, but I'm sure I've claimed to be interested in her mind or that I'm the committing type. I have actually pretended I'm not who I am.
