I was a part of that Beanie Babies generation. I had, like, 400 of them... OK, maybe not that many, but I had a lot of little stuffed animals that I liked to make talk. I was a big dork, and I still am.

I have always aspired towards other people's looks. When I was young, I loved teddy boys; I thought they looked wonderful. Then I was a cowboy in Arizona, really for the clothes! I had a ranch for five years; I had chaps made of bearskin.

To this day, I have the most fond memories of some of my old toys.

I had a little teddy bear called Gordon the gopher. I took him to bed with me, he'd come to school with me cos he was my favourite.

I collect stuffed animals, and toy stores make me happy.

If you're a guy who's always been the fun-to-be-around teddy bear, then all of a sudden people are viewing you as sexy, it's nice. It's great not having to be the plucky best friend or the comic relief anymore - I love that.

I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.

I did have a 1977 Barbie, but I was more into stuffed animals than dolls.

Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.

I don't think my parents liked me. They put a live teddy bear in my crib.
