I met John when I was 18 and I was in my first John Waters film when I was 19.
We've had the same set designer and the same crew in many cases since 1972.
It was there that, through a mutual friend, I met John Waters - proving what I've always said: you meet the best people on field trips.
But some things are the same. My mother still owns the house I grew up in, on what would now be called a cul de sac, but which the sign on the corner called a dead end street.
