My father wouldn't get us a TV, he wouldn't allow a TV in the house.

The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.

As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.

Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all and it's relaxed me.

The worst thing you can do to a child, and I've seen it happen so many times, is the silver spoon.

I've always been dead set against festivals, really suspicious and wary.
