I grew up listening to legends such as Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Tony Bennett.
-
My heart is just being in this industry. I've been lucky enough to have been in films, plays, and on radio.
-
I'd love to still be able to play a bit of football, but my knees are shot to pieces.
-
You can't give up. If you set yourself a target, you've got to keep on until you achieve it. It's a matter of having pride in yourself.
-
Debra Stephenson and I are nothing more than friends and have a close working relationship - we certainly have not had an affair.
-
People don't realise I have seriously bad blepharitis.
-
I'm pretty laid back.

The times change, and if you don't change with them, you get left behind.

I thought Oasis were great.

I was earning a living. I was getting into more acting, then 'Coronation Street' came along, and it was the chance of a lifetime.
-
Families have a sense of kinship that no four strangers would ever have as a team.

I'm a man who doesn't even have a mobile!

Every day I learn something new, and, you know, you go through life's experiences, and if you can bring every experience at some point somewhere in every drama or every story that you have to portray, you will come across an emotion or a feeling you have had some point in your life.

That's what I think a journalist from the '70s and '80s should look like - as though he has led a full journalistic life.
-
I like people to have a bit of a laugh. Life is too short to not enjoy what you're doing.
-
The 'Law & Order' audition was so last-minute. I was already in a shabby suit, the journey was a complete disaster, my train stopped early, it was raining, and I had to show the cabbie the way... I rushed in apologising, gave this terrible reading, and ended up telling my whole journey to them. I must have bored them to tears.

Everyone's got to have a bit of faith.
-
I don't think I can plate-spin, I've turned loads of things down because I just can't get the time to do it.
-

I can't dance to save my life, really - proper, proper dad dancing - but I was once at a wrap party for a show, and at the end of the night, they still hadn't played 'Dancing Queen'. So we extended the wrap party for 40 minutes and played 'Dancing Queen' 11 times in a row.
