I was fortunate that I was an only child. I had two parents who I really cared about, and they cared about me, so I got off to a good start.
I consider myself lucky to be an only child because if I had other siblings, my mother would not have been able to take me to every audition and be so supportive of my career.
Maybe we slip so easily into blaming our parents - you're perpetually a child and they're perpetually a parent and you long to balance the equation, but it can only be balanced posthumously.
Some parents believe that competition helps prepare children to succeed. Others fear that their children will not be able to handle failure.
My grandmother - my mother's mother - was a German Jewish refugee, an only child who came here from Berlin in 1936 at the age of 17.
Being an only child, I didn't have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.
My teacher told my mum, 'I think William has dyspraxia,' and Mum asked what that meant. She said, 'Well, if I put a chair in the middle of the room and asked every child in the class to walk around it, William would be the only child in the class to walk into it.' Mum was like, 'Yeah, that's my boy'.
I was by far the youngest of the family, and at times it was like being an only child.
I feel very lucky because of my parents and then my education, the opportunities that I've had, so I would like to continue working to improve lives for others.
