I Grew Up In Deptford In South London, And At That Time I Used To Wear Toppers, Loon Pants And Tonic Suits From Shops Like Take 6 And Topman. I Was A Bit Of A Soul Boy, But I Had A Very Eclectic Taste In Music - I Was Into James Brown And Bowie; And I Was The Only Kid In The Neighbourhood Who Would Also Be Listening To Chopin.

At 23 It Was All About Acting. Today It's Getting My Kids To School, Making Sure That They've Done Their Homework. I'm In My Fifties, And I'm Turning Into A Square.
