I would literally climb out of the cradle while my parents slept, go and crawl off. I did this a couple of times apparently. I'd cross the road and into someone's house, wake them up banging pots and pans in the kitchen.

I played Lucifer once, which is sort of a difficult character to research. I thought to myself, We all have the potential to be selfish, to be cruel - at least to think evil thoughts, even if we don't ever act out on them.
