It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.

I wanted above all else not to be like my mum.

I'm interested in politics, what's going on in the world, how people behave and how your life is often in the hands of other people.

I don't like being out of the crowd. It's lonely within a group.

I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her.

I didn't come into the business to get awards or titles.

Debate is so much better than denial.
