Now that I am a dad, I am practicing what I call one- handed cooking, because I have got something more important in my other arm. I am whipping up lots of frittatas and omelets.

My dad has been married to his wife for 15 years and wherever he goes there better be a seat for her. I like real couples that tell you how to get through on Wednesdays when you are just at the end of your rope - the ones who really know how to make it through. We have to stop looking at Hollywood couples because you are going to get disappointed.

My sisters have been baptized and my dad is a deacon at his church now. Sadly my mother passed away but what I can say is that the Jehovah Witnesses took very good care of her up until she died.

My dad worked two jobs and moved us to the suburbs, and just being a black person, I went through a lot of racism and being called names and being bullied every single day. And it was hard. I did not have any friends.

I listened to the radio, so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.

My dad has sometimes felt that I grew up a little lacking in sufficient eccentricity - in the sense that I am willing to live as an adult in a house with walls that are parallel to each other, that sort of thing.

I was into all kinds of music as a teen - country music, because my dad was in a band that played country, and whatever my sister and brother were into.

My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he'd listen to a lot of music and the songs that he'd learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even.

I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I will make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads.

Me and my dad are friends. We are cool. I will never be disappointed again, because I do not expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist, and that is how we get along.

My dad's family were pretty working class, actually.

My dad tells me that he took us to a pantomime when I was very, very small - panto being a sort of English phenomenon. There is traditionally a part of the show where they will invite kids up on the stage to interact with the show. I was too young to remember this, but my dad says that I was running up onstage before they even asked us.

My dad liked a lot of Motown, but I did not listen to it until my teenage years.

I love my mom and dad.

The only time I ever look good dancing is if I am next to my dad at a wedding.

Mental illness can happen to anybody. You can be a dustman, a politician, a Tesco worker... anyone. It could be your dad, your brother or your aunt.

There is a lot of research behind the scenes that you do not get to see, but I have an instinct that my dad nurtured from when I was born. I was very lucky then.

I did not have any role models really. My best friend was a dog. My mum and dad saved a dog from the gutter and that dog was my brother before Jesse was born. Sami was his name and he was my role model.

My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist, but he never achieved it, and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his yearning for something he could never have.

My grandfather had two boys, my uncle had three boys, my dad had me and my two brothers, each of my brothers have had two boys. Then something happened with the chromosomal experiment and suddenly I have got three girls.
