I love theater. I really want to go back to it. ”

I'd love to play a lead in the theatre. ”

It's been great; the whole experience was surreal to me. To go from 'EastEnders' to 'X-Men' was like a dream. I could never have thought when I left 'EastEnders' that I would get this good a gig and so soon. ”

I don't really know how my family and friends will react to seeing me on screen in a cinema. I'm sure it'll be an odd experience for them, just like I'm sure it will be for me. ”

When my family first found out about my part in 'EastEnders' they were happy for me and very supportive. ”

I'm really excited to be joining the fantastic cast of 'EastEnders' - a show which my family have watched for years. ”

You're always aware that only eight per cent of actors are in work at one time, so you've got to be thankful for the job you've got and do the best you can. ”
