thinking years careers
The thing is, when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage, and because I went on to have a very, very unhappy two years, I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.
children thinking want
I think, if you've got children, that's your life. Your 'showbiz' life, if you want to call it that, is a separate thing, and it isn't everything to me.
school kids thinking
I don't think any of my kids would have a good word to say about me. I think they deny that they even know me. At school, they pretend they are Anton du Beke's kids.
math thinking two
Math was a two-part exam and I once didn't go for the second part. I knew I'd done so badly on the first it was hopeless. I re-took it about four or five times. I think I eventually got it by getting the top GCSE grade.
dark thinking focus
I think it's almost an indulgence to focus on the dark side of things. And as you get older, you want to focus on the positive.
came felt voices worst
Plus, I've always felt that, if the worst came to the worst in my career, I could always fall back to doing voices on the radio.
people looks seems
I do seem to look like a lot of people.
horse long faces
I just look like someone with a long face. Not just A. P. McCoy himself, but some of the horses he rides.
witty people spots
I like witty people, people who can be witty on the spot.
lots-of-friends stills
I still have lots of friends from my pre-success days.
men wind light
I'm a very, very handsome man, and have had to come to terms with it... um, do I like the way I look? In the right light, and with a following wind.
outlook-on-life outlook
I'm prone to a more depressed outlook on life.
comedian daily-life materials
If you're a comedian, you are looking for material in daily life.
people fine charmed-life
There are some people who only know me for cornflakes ads, and that's fine. I have a charmed life.
