Paolo Tullio, Chef

If a film were being made about your life, who would you want to play you? Someone dashingly good looking

Do you believe in ghosts?

I don't believe in any unseen agents Do you think technology has made the world a better place? It's certainly made my life a great deal easier. Without the internet you wouldn't have got this questionnaire from me If you could live anywhere else, where would it be? I'd go and live in the tiny Italian village called Gallinaro, where my family came from

Can you sing the National Anthem? I can sing the tune no bother, but so far the words have eluded me Talk or music... how do you like your radio? I tune in daily to two stations – Newstalk and BBC Radio 4, both talk stations How many friends do you have on your Facebook page?

I don't have a Facebook page

How often do you tweet? A few times a week. You can find me on @paolotullio.

What's so good about Wicklow? It's very beautiful, the topography is interesting, it's awash with history and it's full of people with a story to tell What did you want to be when you were a child? From an early age I wanted to be an architect. It never happened, but I enjoy the process of designing and building You are granted one wish, but you can't wish for anything for yourself. What do you wish? I'd wish for a magic lamp, like the one Aladdin had

What annoys you most about Wicklow? The only time I get cross is when I'm surrounded by low cloud and the coast is basking in sunshine

Would you walk under a ladder?

I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid one Could you live without your mobile phone? Not any more. Now it's an integral part of my working life, semding and receiving emails, using apps and of course, making calls If you could put together a dream band or group made up of stars from past or present, who would definitely be in it?

Roy Orbison on lead vocals, Lowell George on rhythym guitar, Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Gene Krupa on drums and Booker T Jones on keyboards Do you know how many calories are in the food you eat? Pretty much most foods, yes

If you could, what would you change about yourself?

I'd lose 30 years

How do you want the world to remember you?

With affection What word sums up your mood today?
