“While the kids are little, I want to maintain a job, keep a roof over their heads, and make them proud. I want them to have good female role models in their life.”

“I love going into junk shops, picking up something that looks like it's got a bit of history to it, then sanding it down and reviving it.”

“If anything, I would say the movies I've done have been very low paid. TV work and voice-overs have been more lucrative.”

“I was quite canny when I was doing 'EastEnders,' so the money went into property. I made sure that I didn't blow it all.”

“I don't want to take anything that's coming in for the sake of work. I want to choose carefully, as I have done since leaving 'EastEnders.'”

“I love nice fabrics and texture like velvet and silk, and have a special Moroccan corner in my house to curl up and read in.”

“There were times in my life where I didn't know, my mother didn't know, where my next meal was coming from. There were days she worked three jobs all in the same day to make sure she was able to keep a roof over our heads.”

“Network heads don't seemed to be turned off by the men who get older.”

“Growing up playing on the streets, you made your name by talking mess and getting into people's heads.”

“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?'”

“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.”

“It's cool to turn some heads.”
