I get asked to do panel shows, and reality stuff, like getting in a cage with a shark. I got asked to do a 'Strictly' special, but it's not my bag. If I'm being interviewed, that's OK, but anything else fills me with dread.

When I'm older, I'd like to play one of Tennessee Williams's women and an older Adelaide in 'Guys and Dolls.'

My brother was older, very bright. He went to university. I wasn't academically bright - maybe at first, when I was little, but it was lost. I started doing a drama workshop and got really into it, then I did a BTec in performing arts and started to work.

I think there are some people who have talent flying out of their fingers and other actors who hone their craft. I am an actor who found their way. I bettered myself throughout my career, and I am proud of that fact.

When I was 13, Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground made more sense to me than anything else.

When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.

I'm interested in beauty more than anything else.

I was gonna write songs, I was gonna be a star and a singer and I never thought of doing anything else.

I'm crazy, and I don't pretend to be anything else.
