My wife was a make-up artist, and she's a total product junkie. Our bathroom is packed full of lotions and potions so I end up trying them out.

I've always taken my love of children from my father. He was a children magnet. Suddenly, having my first child hit home what my dad went through.

Guys, particularly in the West, go to the gym and train for hours and hours to pick up something that is heavier than them. Why would you want to do that?

A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
