My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a person. I've always been very close to her - we've only ever had one argument, and that was over something stupid when I was 13.
I'm a talker. I don't bottle things up. I always call my mum or a close girlfriend and try to talk things out.
My mum taught me to knit when I was a child, and I turn to it, for some weird reason, when I'm feeling depressed.
I do love a bit of fashion. I grew up around a lot of it as my mum and dad had clothing stores so my mum was always designing a lot, and I definitely had that as an influence.
I really, really love being a mum and I absolutely love being a singer so I couldn't be happier.
My mum is actually really wholesome.
My mum is in a mental hospital. There's a fine line between genius and insanity. Winston Churchill, Mozart, John Lennon. These people all had a touch of crazy that fuelled their brilliance. They were not locked up for it like my mum. Pft. Then again, Winston Churchill never tried to kill my dad.
My commitment is to my kids and my mum and I'm having a whale of a time.
I think Mum's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him.
I don't want to be a great chief executive without being a great mum and a great wife.

There was a time when my mum would sew costumes for the dance studio so we could keep doing our classes because we couldn't afford them.
My mum and mad were both very generous, encouraging parents.
I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it.
From 16 to 21 when I was self sufficient and working in factories. I packed batteries, boxes, and make-up with heroin addicts. I have to thank my mum for kicking me out at 16 and making me stand on my own two feet.
I was a barmaid for my mum for years, as we lived above a pub. I still can't hear the Heartbeat theme tune without breaking into a cold sweat, as it used to start at the same time as my shift.
I had a paper round and every night I would put the dinner on before Mum came home from work. I was capable because I had to be.
Kylie and I were both taking piano lessons at the time and didn't think of acting. A friend rang mum up and said, 'How about bringing Kylie and Danielle in because they might be right for the part?
Lots of people call me Dave, my mum calls me David, my wife calls me Dave, I don't really notice what people call me.
