I've always enjoyed family movies anyway. And I grew up loving actors who could hop around and play in something very family friendly, big, playful - and then go and do drama and comedy as well.

I'm a huge fan of Eighties music.

I've never tried to find my real parents. I'm very grateful to my mum and dad for adopting me - they're completely incredible people. It was my dad who encouraged me to question everything, to forge my own path, to think, to read. I always felt it was my right to question everything.

I never quite toed the line.

I want to spend as much time as I can with my family, yet I'm aware of having to bring home the bacon.

Coming back to theatre is something I'm keen to do for the rest of my life. It recharges my batteries, so to speak.

I don't think there's ever a right time to have kids. I'm actually pretty glad it's happened quite young.
