When I play discos in Belfast or freshers' week in Oxford, there are 1,800 kids dressed as me. It's odd, it's funny, and it pays really well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The kids can see that there are more parts to me than just being their mom; I wear a couple of different hats and have other roles to play.
I'm probably a natural uncle. I can take the kids out and have fun with them and look after them, and I can be Mr. Popular. But actually having to do the grind? That stuff just doesn't appeal at all.
When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did.
There are these showcase clubs where 14 guys will go on in a row and people are laughing at everything, and I'm like - 'I can't laugh that much. That's so weird to me.'
Kids who have no money are still figuring out a way - somehow - to dress nicely.
Kids definitely grow out of their clothes really quickly, so I'm all about mixing and matching.
My children have become popular, and they show a tremendous love for the public. They're professionals.
Entertainers are there to entertain. They aren't there to teach your children the lessons that you haven't bothered to teach them at home yourself.
I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.
London audiences have this reputation for being a bit too cool for school.
