Music first and above all: I listen to it (PLENTY of it), I play in a band, I write reviews for www.movimentiprog.net, I listen to loads of stuff...
Then rugby (CUS Padova and the Greenock Wandies are MY teams), tarot reading (I have plenty of decks - although I mostly focus on my Raider-Waite deck), the paranormal, books, movies, some kind of comics. And playing the fool.
A pretty average person, really.

My absolute favourites are... well, many. Every movie in the View Askewniverse, first and foremost. Yes, including Mallrats and even Jersey Girl. Then: Dead Poets Society; The Debt Collector; Radiofreccia; The Big Lebowski; Nightmare Before Christmas; Dogville; everything by the Monty Pythons... and horror movies. Possibly decent ones.
I don't watch much but sometimes I give up to my lowest instincts and I lurk stuff like The Weakest Link, Eggheads or - much more rarely - Millionaire.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld series; almost everything Stephen King wrote; Watership Down (YES, best book ever); all the Harry Potter books; Stark by Ben Elton; Neil Gaiman's Sandman (OK, it's a COMIC book, but don't be anal. Or I ain't allowed to write "anal" here? Oh, screw them. Oh shite, I wrote "screw". And I could go on forever).
There's only one person I can really think of as an hero Well, andThen, if you want some "childhood heroes" and "favourite characters"... here you go, and the list will be constantly updated: Dylan Dog; Batman; The Crow; The Sandman; Bruce Dickinson; Jonah Lomu; Groucho Marx; Jay and Silent Bob (well, mainly SB); David Campese. (yes, there IS more to come, sooner or later)
