I think if you stop learning, there's not much point, and so I always hope to be challenged. That's the beauty of this job.

That is what Christmas should be about, I think - togetherness and playfulness. It's like a game.

I tried to go to college in the U.K. a couple of times, but at that point, I think I was a little disillusioned with education. It wasn't giving me what I wanted it to. I needed freedom to create and do the things that I wanted to explore, and it wasn't really doing that: it was still very prescriptive.

I had that extroverted energy, and I always involved myself in quite adult conversations. My mum never hid us from that. There was never a kids' table; we were never treated as kids, per se, because I don't think she believes in that.

It's my job, but I think it is too much.

There's a children's book by Anthony Browne called 'The Tunnel' that I've always loved.
