I've been working on my relationship with my parents and my sister over the years.
It's about strengthening the relationship and the bond of parent to child.
My parents had this relationship that was really terrifying. I mean the level of hatred that they had and the level of physical abuse - my mother would beat up my father basically - and I think I was drawn to images on television that were bright and reflective.
I'd never really thought about it before but now you ask I can see that how my parents handled money definitely affected my relationship with it.
I have a great relationship with my parents. I have not been on lithium.
Relationships are so much a rerun of our parental relationships. We're rerunning the relationship they were in together and we're rerunning the relationship we had with them with our lover.

It's interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say 'You shouldn't do this you shouldn't do that.'
