Being the father of three children.
The coming out letter I wrote in Tales Of The City – it seems to be the thing that’s going to last after I’m gone.
Having a family and still loving each other.
Getting to challenge the status quo by being myself, just existing openly and honestly and boldly on a public level. It hasn’t always been easy, and it came with its fair set of challenges and sacrifices, and I am proud of that.
Bullying, flakiness, rudeness, lack of humility, being patronising and ungenerous.
Working in McDonald’s when I was 16. It was about 90p an hour. Because I was always late, they made me “trash walk” the length of Kentish Town high street and pick up the McDonald’s rubbish.
I lose bank cards, I’m untidy, I get bored very quickly.
As somebody who loved people, was always curious, a loyal friend, a mother, wife, always positive and authentic.
Being murdered – I listen to too many true-crime podcasts.
I like to think that my friends, my auntie and my mum are up there having a big party and that I could join them.
