I belonged to Stratford Children's Theater when I was a boy growing up in Manchester. Even then, I was always doing character parts.

You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers

While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.

I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.

Growing up, I supported Manchester United, and my hero was Mark Hughes.

Mistakes are a natural part of growing up. They're to be expected and made light of. But children bloom like spring flowers under praise. They want so much to be noticed and appreciated, to excel and have that excellence noticed.
