In spite of what I do for a living, I’ve never really craved being the centre of attention. I grew up in a family of 14 – eight brothers and five sisters – and I was number 10. There was never a quiet moment, and as the older ones grew up, they looked after the younger ones. Everyone chipped in. Our family home had two staircases, so you could go up one way and come down the other. There was a constant sense of movement: people coming in, people going out, parties happening, noise everywhere. Underneath all of that chaos was a strong sense of love.
