I don't think in my family anyone looked after anyone. It didn't matter how old they were.

If you've got a lot of children, I think you let the other children bring them up more and you just sort of step in and do stuff like every now and again.

I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.

I was a hard worker, and I always knew my lines.

Both my parents were doctors, and my mother had her surgery in the house. There were six children.

My mother felt it was time that I had some parental control, so I went off to America and went to New York.

Once, the parental bed collapsed because all the children sat on it at once.
