I think my father was somewhat disappointed in not having had a son, and in that way I was the nearest thing he had.

While I didn't have a father around, I did have - and what I want my children to both experience - the ability to explore, experiment and enjoy life as a kid.

My siblings and I were friends with the boys who would become our stepbrothers - we grew up on the same street. I feel very special to have these amazing people in my life and if we hadn't all moved into this big house together I think I would have missed out on that, because we would have drifted apart.

I did not have a father. It was my mom who chose to be alone. She felt that she would be better off by herself with me after I was born.

I didn't have a father when I was growing up, and I vowed to be there with my kids.

One of the things I would have loved to have had was a family that worked better together, although I love my mother and father to bits.

I don't mind being an only child; never have. I am lucky, though, that I have my friend Emily, who grew-up very close to me and so, there is someone I have shared memories with. I would miss that if I didn't have it, I think.

I had unusual parents. We'd been to Europe. We'd been in the theater. We were sort of like the Addams Family.

If I could change anything, I would definitely have had a father around. My father. I would definitely say it affected me deeply as a young man, coming up. Who doesn't want a father? Those are the beginnings, and those are what can dictate the roads you choose in life, and choosing them well.

My childhood was kind of complicated. I have an older sister, but my father, my mother's husband, died when I was four years old. So I only had my mum and sister, really.
