At school I was easily misled, but that's childhood. I remember I used to shoplift tins of Airfix paint and football badges.
Children change you. You have this overwhelming feeling of responsibility, of love - they're everything. They're yours. You know when you're cuddling them, cradling them, and you can smell their hair. I love that.
My brother Robert wanted to act from a very early age, and there was always a part of me that said we couldn't have two actors in the family because our parents would go mental. So I became a runner for the Robert Stigwood Organisation and, one way or another, worked my way up to movie publicist.
My father was a television director, and I always knew I wanted to be in the industry, but I had thought my role was behind the camera as opposed to in front.
Acting is just a job at the end of the day, and it's a very strange one.
