I am not into action and adventure on holiday; that doesn't really do it for me. I would much rather go and lie down.

I've stopped worrying about whether people think what I do is any good. I've taken stick in the past, and I've genuinely worried and got incredibly upset.

Ashes To Ashes' is a victim of its own success. We started lots of trends. I like to think we had something to do with bringing back the high waist. It's so much more flattering.

I prefer watching movies on the sofa rather than sitting next to Bob Geldof at a premiere and wanting to kill yourself.

Over the years, I've learned that a sense of humor is the only skill that allows you to turn sucking at life into a career.

I grew up in a very musical family, but music was not encouraged as a career. It was a hobby.

One of the cruelest judgments sustained against me is that I have spoken out as a recovered alcoholic to stimulate my acting career.

Working on a play is a vibrant and collaborative business. Everyone from the choreographer to the music director to the director to the writers work together toward the same goal, and everyone chimes in on everything.
