My dad was an actor, so he would try and put me off and say, 'Come on, you've got to go to university first.'
I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.'
I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better.
My dad didn't want me to play guitar. He played piano, so I chose that. And I ended up loving 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.
Dad built houses and when they were sold, he moved on to a new town, so I know a lot about my native state.
All the records I've put out have had either artwork that I did while I was young or something that my Dad painted.
I was obsessed with clowns. My dad had to get rid of them. I thought there were clowns under my bed for years.
My dad gave me my first bike at 16. I soon fell off and was in a wheelchair for weeks. I haven't fallen since.
My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.
I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.
My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.
Acting careers don't come out fully formed - not unless your name is Jaden Smith and your dad has done it all.
I never picked up a guitar as a kid, partly because my dad didn't want the noise in our little back-to-back in Sheffield.
I was raised on Broadway because of my dad, but I never thought I had what it took to make it there, although I always wanted to.
My dad's so likeable, you wouldn't feel in competition with him. If any boyfriends have ever felt that, they're long gone.
Performing has always been something I wanted to do. My dad had a video camera and I loved being in front of it.
My dad teaches me. He teaches me everything. He's been acting for over 30 years, so he knows a lot.
My brother's a grip. My mom's a scriptwriter. My dad's a director. So it's like, at heart, I'm a below-the-line girl.
My dad knows how to tell a story. He'd make me laugh by doing all the different voices.
My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.
