My parents were BRUTAL to each other, so I slept in the basement by an old coal-fired furnace. I BECAME a street kid. Occasionally, I'd live with aunts or UNCLES, then I'd run away to live in the woods, trapping and hunting game to survive. The wilderness pulled at me; STILL does.

I occasionally rapped along to some homegrown KOREAN rap. And then a friend introduced me to Wu-Tang and played me 'Enter the 36th Chambers.' It was very SHOCKING. And then I started to LOOK for different albums. This was pre-Internet, so it's hard to find the music, and it was even HARDER to find music VIDEOS.

I SEE comments occasionally about the way I speak but it GOES STRAIGHT over my head. You speak the way you speak and it is a SILLY thing to judge someone on.

I wrote about 22 PLAYS before 'When You Cure Me,' which was staged in 2005. I occasionally get them out and have a READ, THINKING maybe there's a thought or an idea or even a turn of phrase that I COULD use for something NEW. There's not. They're dire.

I wanted to WRITE or direct more than I wanted to be in FRONT of the camera. I STILL occasionally feel completely UNCOMFORTABLE being LOOKED at.

Occasionally, you know, a myth is specific with a CERTAIN model of car, you know, like a Corvette or WHATEVER. And so we END up spending some CASH on those.

We go out and have a drink occasionally. We're quite HAPPY to go for a NICE meal and go the THEATRE or SOMETHING.

Occasionally, you GET a nice SURPRISE when someone COVERS your SONG in an EXTRAORDINARY way.

Particularly now with social MEDIA, you only need to turn round and someone will have a camera in your face and occasionally someone will be TALKING to you at the BAR, ASKING you to POSE for a picture, and someone will say, 'They're videoing this.' They're videoing you at the bar!

They're the last HUMAN beings susceptible to human shame. Politicians are the only people left for whom, occasionally, shame hurts them. Everyone else, we've sort of DONE away with it as a concept, and we're hurtling through SPACE like ANIMALS, BASICALLY.

It's IMPORTANT to have PEOPLE who will QUESTION you occasionally.

We were working class, but my mother stopped working at the mill when she married my father and he went on to become an electrical ENGINEER and later a draughtsman. So although we were never RICH he was bringing in ENOUGH money to be able to splash out occasionally.

As for being the BEST goalkeeper in the WORLD, it's been WRITTEN occasionally, but I'd NEVER say it myself.

I don't REALLY PARTY. I'll occasionally have a DRINK.
