Dad
  • My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.

  • My dad was a sports writer when I was younger and then he became just a general columnist. But I grew up with him literally getting into brawls with football coaches.

  • My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew.

  • As a brother and sister, our tastes were pretty different growing up. He liked a lot of early hip hop. My dad didn't understand it and would try to talk him out of it.

  • My dad was quiet, angry, shut down. So my thing is: I express everything that's there. I want to get it all out.
