Both of my parents had a change of career. My mum was a nurse, and now she's a college lecturer.

When I was 18, I couldn't wait to move away. I was like: 'If I ever have to come back here, I'll kill myself.' Glasgow seemed like failure and death to me back then, but not any more.

I expected it to be overwhelming and all-encompassing, but having a kid brings you into the world in a whole different way.

I've always been an actor, a lowly actor without power, so I've never been corrupted. I've never even directed.

I have mended fences with both my sisters. But do I have their families on my side? Not easily. My one sister, Florence, has two lawyers in the family and two doctors. Of course, I couldn't win that battle.

My greatest pleasure is spending time with my family: my husband and daughter, but also my mother, my three sisters, and their families.

One time, I came off stage and a guy named Roman Decare, God rest his soul, he was a comic. 'Louie, if you do that family stuff, and you're a clean comic on stage, you'll become famous.' And, for some reason, a switch clicked, and I started doing the family stuff, and it became a giant part of my life.

What a woman is taught, she shares with her family.
