I've got quite a big fan base, and people like to see you do the same thing - that's why you get offered the same roles.

I don't know what's happened to me. I've got a bit more sophisticated in my old age. I like a bit of jasmine tea. I love it.

I don't think you can get any more working class than me. Everyone seems posh to me.

I had a good upbringing, we didn't have any money, but there was a lot of love in my family.

There are a lot of bitter people out there who have got jobs that they hate and the key to life for me is doing something you love doing.

You can never plan anything, you're never guaranteed anything. As long as I'm getting the work and it's quality then I'm happy. But you never know.

There is never a right or wrong time to have kids; it happens for whatever reason, but you can have this paranoia: 'will I be able to do this, I'm not sure if I'm ready to have kids?'

90% of people are in jobs they hate and are bitter about their lives and scratching about for money. That's my worst nightmare.

A normal fight is thirty seconds of rolling around on the floor, scrapping, that's what it is. It's not rolling over boxes or getting punched through windows.

You never know where you stand - and I like that. I like to be on edge.

I do walk with a bit of a swagger. I do swear a lot. And people are going to be offended by that. But in this PC world, you can't be honest.

The truth doesn't always make a good story, does it?

Oh God, teach us thy truth.

It is just that I don’t know how I could live without the hope of her. It would be like learning to live with wooden legs.

I have a thing with the camera. The lens is unconditional. It doesn't judge you.

In a downturn, aggressive PR and communications strategy is key.

My degrees are in anthropology, and I have friends who have worked with apes.

Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.

I used to be a dusty little child.

An event in the present evokes past sensations. But science couldn't explain how a foolish heart had the power to overrule common sense.
