What of his character though, Valmont? Does Lance think there's a little of himself in the role?

"No, it's not really - but I've got to say that haven't I?! I think I'd like it to be me, I think any man would. Valmont is a real smooth operator and he gets the women but you've got to get under the surface of the character to understand him. He's from a different era when the aristocracy had nothing to do so they spent their time doing things like this and this guy is the ultimate Don Juan, if you like, and he spends his time just trying to destroy other people's lives."
