To tell you the truth, my father says I came out of the womb literally singing and dancing, as though there was a spotlight on me. When I ask what I was like when I was little, they just say 'loud.'
I was a precocious child. Everyone called me sassy.
I don't know if I was a funny kid. I would say I was a loud and weird kid.
Although I was a shy child, I was also a bit flamboyant.
I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn't the class clown at all.
I was not big on playing house. I preferred make-believe that revolved around adventure, featuring pirates and knights. I was also domineering, impatient, relentlessly verbal, and, as an only child, often baffled by the mores of other kids.
I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.
I was nice and well-mannered because I was taught manners. I was very imaginative and quite adventurous. I was a tomboy, and I was always jealous that my older brother Hugh had bigger toy aeroplanes than me. I was always playing with boys' toys; I don't remember owning any dolls.
I was rambunctious - a boy's boy, full of energy. I wasn't a bad kid. I just liked to talk.
But it's funny, I really was quite introverted as a child. I just liked music, so mum and dad bought me a piano when I was seven - I actually got up to Grade Seven at the London College of Music on piano.
I was just watching baby videos of me and I was obviously an exhibitionist.
The 'Billy On The Street' persona is truly inspired by who I was as a child - obviously not having an adult perspective on the world.
I was a very quiet child, quite introverted, really. Independent, yes; I didn't need a lot of supervision. Less so than I did when I got older, maybe. But I was a bookish child, not surprisingly. I could sit quite happily in a corner for hours and entertain myself with books.
I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn't afraid of being in front of a camera.
