“My whole family were from the East End, but they moved away when I was...” — Nicola Walker Quote

“My whole family were from the East End, but they moved away when I was a child. They still cannot get their heads around the fact that I ran back to London as soon as I could, when I was 21.”

“The people I've met who are divorce lawyers, there's a sense of them having to look reassuringly expensive.”

“We lived in so many flats, and the more people you could get, the cheaper the flat was. Someone was always sleeping in the living room, and you're always slightly hiding them when the landlord came round.”

“The best thing my mum and dad did was to send me to the local youth theatre. I loved that; I felt I'd found the thing I really wanted to do.”

“It was really unusual that the crews on 'Spooks' were a real mix of men and women, and you'd struggle to see many women with parts that weren't cliched back in the late '90s.”

“The generation before me certainly told me that there would come a point when there were fewer parts, telling me to make hay while the sun shone. There was a time in my late thirties when I thought that it was something I had to get myself ready for, that things were going to slow down as I hit 40.”

“Surely if God had meant us to do yoga, he would have put our heads behind our knees.”

“People have so much going on in their heads. I'm like, If you could write a song, you'd feel so much better!”

“I've pitched movies to all of the major studio heads in my time.”

“There were a lot of heads turning when people found out I was doing music and when they found out it was country, they were like, 'What?'”

“The last thing I want to become is one of those talking heads where everything is satiny smooth and you know what the next question is going to be.”

“I heard Samoans have hard heads, but it turns out what Enzo Amore told me about Samoa Joe's head was true. His head is S-A-W-F-T.”
