You spend some time raising a child in London, carrying it around on one side of your body - it puts your back out!
I am actually extremely casual in certain environments. But one of the reasons I like living in London, I like the formality of it, as compared to the formality of America - or informality. I like putting on a suit. I like putting on a tie.
Oh, I live in London. So, whether I like it or not, I am a member of the metropolitan elite. If I were anywhere else in the country, I'd hate me.
I'm the youngest of three children and grew up in Ealing, west London. My eldest sister, Nutun, is nine years older than me, and my middle sister, Rupa, is three years older.
I had just got married when I started writing my fourth novel. I'd come back from honeymoon, moved into our first house - a gorgeous little carriage house in London - and made my office on the third floor, overlooking the treetops in North West London.
I love being in London because it means I am breathing the same air as the Queen.
Moving to London enables me to fulfil a dream and a further step in my career. The Premier League has always represented a great challenge for me.
Because I sometimes shopped in Waitrose, I thought I was actually quite posh. I've realised that I'm basically a scullery maid. Even the middle-class people who I meet in parliament, people who live in London - which I think is remarkable because how can anybody afford to live there - seem much, much more middle class than me.
I don't know where football will take me because in football, you never know, but for sure, as a family, our home will be in London.
Every now and again I want to go to the beach and be in the sun, but that's a very rare feeling, so I could live in London, definitely.
I worked in rep for six years, then I came to London and to the National Theatre. What's better than that?
In London I had pear trees in my back garden, so I'd make my own pear and green tomato chutney.
Living in London and having a lavish lifestyle, it's not that important to me.
My wife's biggest fear is air pollution, living in London as we do. She's convinced that's the big problem. And my own is sink holes and the inevitability of us all, at some point, collapsing into a sink hole and never being seen again.
As a child, I always remember our home, which was a flat just on the Barnes side of Hammersmith Bridge in London, buzzing with actors such as Patrick McGee and Peter Bowles. We were a family who were always on the go.
Home for me is London now, and my weekend will start on a Saturday morning when I'll try to have a lie-in until 8 A.M. Anything longer than that feels like I'm wasting my day.
Since I was an adult, I've always lived in the centre of London - King's Cross, Bloomsbury - and never thought I'd leave.
Living in London as a student is tough. And my heart goes out to every single drama student in London because, as an actor, it's a creative process that you are taking on, and if you don't get to do it every day, it hurts.
For a short time I was an assistant to a professional photographer, and I felt that my soul was not there. That is the stage when I decided to stay in London and do a graduate degree.
We shoot 'Hustle' for 12 to 16 weeks, so that's how long I'm here each year. I've always loved London. I lived here for three years back in the Seventies, when I did a TV series, 'The Protectors,' for Lew Grade.
When I was studying in London, I worked part-time as a waitress. I was teaching drama to kids. I did a lot of odd jobs to pay for my studies.
I want a house with a garden, but slap bang in the centre of London. Next door to a sushi bar.
In 1965, I was 11 and in my last year at Junior school. I was living with my mum and older sister in a rented flat in south London - my parents had separated when I was five and got divorced a couple of years later, which was unusual at the time. My dad was working abroad, and I hadn't seen him for several years.
I don't think I'd live in London unless you paid me. Nine figures would be nice.
People in London are so much more exposed to danger, or bad things. It took me quite a long time to grow up in that environment.
