I thought boxes were the best toy. When my parents got a new car, I ran to my mother and said, 'Did it come in a box?'

When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand box. I was an only child... eventually.

To a child, often the box a toy came in is more appealing than the toy itself.

I played guitar from the age of four or five. Every year there would be a slightly larger triangular box under the Christmas tree, until finally I got one that was big enough to make a proper sound.

When my kids were toddlers, they had all these rotomolded plastic things. My life became surrounded by big, hollow plastic toys - from the scale of playhouses down to rocking horses, and everything in between - which we would then take to the secondhand store. But we'd get sentimentally attached and hate to see them go.

I like boxes because of the secrets they hide.

I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.

On my 30th birthday, all the presents I got were boxes of food. That's what I needed.

I did a picture for the First Barbie doll box.
