I think self-esteem is fluid. It's not a fixed state, and so some days are better than others.

Whatever situation you are in, that is what is normal for you.

I had always fancied a go at the comedy and when it started to go reasonably well and the opportunity arose for me to move into it full time, I just couldn't turn it down. I just took the risk, and I just wanted to see if it would work and thankfully it did.

Again, with two small children it's incredibly hard to commit yourself to anything because you're just getting interested in it and someone comes along and goes I want Thomas The Tank Engine on, and screams the place down until you put it on.

I went on the pill when I was 16, put on four stone... so that proved to be a very effective contraceptive.

In the end, punk inevitably burned itself out and acted as a bridge across which the New Romantics could sashay in their chiffon and glossy hair.

No one I know is actually so rude as to tell me I've become duller since having children. But I'm sure they think it.
