My sister and my brother, of whom I have not spoken before, were considerably older than I; it seemed almost as if we belonged to different generations.

I'm used to being around kids. Even when I was growing up in London, I had an older sister, I had a younger sister that I used to look after from time to time.

I was the youngest of six kids, and my brothers and sisters were kind of a lot older than me. And the one sister that was, like, in a close age range - she was five years older than me. She was my closest sister in age, and she was a loser.

All my siblings being all different ages meant I got exposed to music that was 20-30 years older than me. And that was a big influence.

It's a funny thing when you know someone and you meet their siblings - you get so much a sense of who they are because when you can recognize similar traits in the family, you understand exactly why they are the way they are.

In some ways, siblings, and especially sisters, are more influential in your childhood than your parents.

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.

During my childhood, I felt older than my years because I felt responsible for my brothers and sisters.
