- Dropped out of school at 16 to start acting in EastEnders (1985).

- [on "Our Girl"] The Afghanistan scenes were actually filmed in a quarry in Leighton Buzzard with a couple of goats. It was freezing but I relished the challenge of, say, trying to get over a 12ft wall when you're only 5ft nothing. Most of the people in the film are real soldiers.
- I'm rubbish at being me. I panic and say embarrassing things. Live interviews are the worst bit of the job.
- Now I mostly watch TV at night, in bed after a cup of hot chocolate, and at the moment I'm really, really into The Following (2013) with Kevin Bacon.
- I'd love Anne Hathaway's career. I think most people in my position would!
