ill-advised by Bill Nighy · Hey Babydoll, How's It Hanging? · 7 May 2026 podcast

Hey, Lynn.

Thank you for the question.

Interesting question.

Actually, two questions.

The first, was there a slippery slope to minimalism?

There was no slippery slope.

And I'm not, I don't really, as they currently say, identify as a minimalist.

I do identify as anally retentive.

I've always liked things in alignment or in order.

And even my childhood bedroom was pretty nailed down.

And when I used to be in digs at work, if I was on tour, which I was always on tour in the early days,

Whatever room I was in, I would take anything extraneous out of it as much as I could remove it.

I'd put anything sort of, you know, that was hanging around, I'd put it all in the wardrobe so that the space would be completely clear and then make the bed, you know, military style and have nothing else in the room.

And when I got an apartment of my own, rather than Dick's,

I remember they were bringing the television in and I thought and it looked so ugly in my and my beautiful empty room and I thought well that can't come in so I put it in the cellar because I had a cellar and I put the television in the cellar and I made appointments to watch the TV which worked out very well because had it been in the front room

ruining the aesthetic, I would have been a slave on the sofa with the remote in my hand because I'm like a medieval peasant with the television.

I just sit there.

The only time I watch terrestrial TV or any TV is when I'm on a job and I'm in a hotel room.

I spend half my life in hotel rooms like most actors and I just flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.

And the only thing I ever really watch is things where I might, you know, there might be somebody I know in it.
