I think it's very important not to grow up with the unhealthy amount of attention that is sometimes put on people because they are 'actors'.
Music really influenced me when I was growing up. I did go through a Jimi Hendrix phase. My hair was naturally quite afro, and I wore low-slung jeans with very high heels. Siouxsie and the Banshees had a lot to answer for. I was in a top hat with peacock feathers and thigh-high black boots. I was 17 -- old enough to know better.
I love London, and it's a privilege for my children to grow up here.
