If you drop a line in the theatre, you can usually find a way round it. But you can't do that as easily on television - you're in the hands of too many people.
-
I've had a fantastic time at 'Coronation Street,' and I'm chuffed at the reaction to Becky. It's been this lovely redemption story, and I think that's what the viewers have enjoyed about it.
-
It sounds so boring - and my brothers tease, 'Oh poor you, pulling pretend pints all day' - but it's very, very long hours, and you're knackered when you get home.
-
On Sunday, we will Skype relatives - my brother lives in America, my best friend is in Canada, and Ryan's family are all in Australia.
-
I've never been a person to wish for stuff - I just take it as it comes.
-
You've got to be brave.
-
All I know is Andrew Davies is an amazing writer; I adore the scripts. I think that Jeremy Piven is outstanding.
-
There are lots of people in my life I just don't get the chance to see as much as I would like.
-
I always took 'Coronation Street' a year at a time anyway. It was the 50th anniversary; I'd been there five years. It just felt right to leave.
-
I'd be a terrible journalist. I wouldn't want to pry; I just don't have that nature.
-
So many people say you have to remember to grab hold of your bride or groom and spend time with them. I think if we had done a traditional wedding, we would have been doing it for everyone else, but this was about the two of us.
-
Maybe having to pretend to be in love with someone and then jump into bed with them breaks the ice very quickly; friendship follows fast.
-
I've got a green card, so I can work there any time, but I hate reading about actors going to America, because it's not like that anymore.
-
I wouldn't put myself on the same pedestal as Sarah Lancashire.
-
You should see the way I walk around on the way to the nursery. I look a state.
-
I really like lads and grew up with two brothers and all of their mates. I'm also close to several actors that I've played opposite.
-
There's no point daydreaming about what you want to play, because there might never be a script with that part in.
-
You can't go back to work unless you have a great support network, whatever that is. My mum and dad, sister, and husband are great.
-
I was excited when I first got the call, when I heard BBC Four were making a biography and they were interested in me being a part of it.
-
I always look so different in different roles, people are never quite sure. Which is the way I like it.
-
We take each week as it comes; we're juggling just like everybody else. It's all about spinning plates.
-
I just take every script as it comes along and take it from there.
-
I'm always proud to be in something that's good.
-
I don't really get a buzz from playing characters that are similar to me 'cause that's not acting to me.
