It wasn't a conscious effort to have kids later. It was just the way life goes.
Later in life there should not be any regrets. Sometimes you have children too early and regret it, 'If I wouldn't have, my career would have been different' and sometimes when you don't have, you miss that opportunity.
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
I don't buy the 'at 60 it's great to have kids' thing. I don't buy the line that has been thrown down - 'You can have a kid at any time.' That doesn't mean you should.
We're not meant to be parents when we're 50.
I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father.
Women are now very comfortable to have babies into their late 30s. You can be a father in your 50s. I'm not saying it's for everybody, and I think people have to get their own life secure before they take on the responsibility of a partner and children.
I didn't get round to having children until I was 35, and then I wasn't around very much.
The subject and the reality of having children came at the height of my career.
