Can you speak Spanish?

Well if you can, you might be interested in this interview which I recorded in Barcelona last month and which played on Spanish television recently. Watch how naturally I walk into the studio at the beginning of the video! I remember the day we shot this, my Spanish publicist and I searched in vain for the studio and when we found it, it looked to me like the kind of place where serial killers take their victims. Check out the grimy sinks if you don’t believe me. Most impressive of all though is how the interviewer disappears in the last minute of the video, after I start reading. Seriously - go to the end - one minute he’s sitting beside me and then - wow! - he’s gone!
