I didn't think I had anything particular to say, but I thought I might have something to say to children.

I'm not quite as anonymous as I was.

I think I'm less anonymous than I was.

You know how it's almost impossible for kids to not say what they think? That's me. I have to make the conscious effort to be situationally appropriate.

You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.

I don't think anyone can say I have said one thing in public and done another in private.

You know, I play in small, intimate venues; I'm not an arena performer.

I just didn't have anything to say, so I said nothing.

I don't think any of my kids would have a good word to say about me. I think they deny that they even know me. At school, they pretend they are Anton du Beke's kids.

Obviously you don't want to be anonymous, but you don't want everyone to know your life.
