Having my own family has made me realise there's more to life than chasing the next job.

As an actor, I'm in such a privileged position because my work is job by job. If something doesn't fit in with family life, there's more flexibility.

I love my work, and I feel fortunate to be doing a job I love, but it isn't the centre of my life.

I know enough of the family life of officers. I scarcely know my own children or they me.

I always felt too young and selfish to have children of my own.

I made my own assessment of my life, and I began to live it. That was freedom.
