  2. “Yeah, I mean, I lived in a council flat, you know, and council flats are small flats. They're thin walls and you hear a lot. You probably hear things you don't want to hear when you're a kid. I'm lucky enough now live in a bigger house, and so Susan and I ever have a round, we keep it to ourselves. But when you're kids, you hear things, don't you? And some of those things may shape you in your life, I don't know. But my mum was totally, she's passed away now, but she was absolutely madly in love with my dad. There and he wasn't there sort of thing, one of those sort of things.”

  5. “You mean actually painting yourself? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I keep thinking I've got to do something for myself now, something for my soul. For the last two years, my New Year's resolution besides giving up drink for a while. Again, it's been to do something for me that will make me feel good and a bit of a release for myself. And one of those things was painting, saying the painting course. I'm going to do it this year.”

  10. “Yeah, and I worked at the races with him. I used to work on Stand Up and Bet myself when I was a kid. And so there's that part of me, but I do like taking risks now and then. I never think back to the bad times. I think if you do that, I think it drags you down. I've always been an optimist. If I do sit and think about bad things, then I could really bring myself down. So I choose not to do that.”
