There can be dramas in your life and you can get over them and become someone. You don't have to wallow in self-pity; you can actually use the experiences in your life to push yourself further and help others.
I'm tongue in cheek, but very much to the point.
I like committed, one-on-one relationships. That's just who I am.
What would people be surprised to know about me? That I love cooking and chopping wood for the heating system in my house.
I once called EastEnders' Patsy Palmer 'a scrubber in a Puffa jacket who cries all the time' on 'Strictly.' She said I wasn't actually a dancer. That wasn't my finest moment.
But 'Strictly' is meant to showcase people with talents in acting, singing, sports, journalism… not fame-seekers with no discernible talent.
Discovering that my great-great-grandfather Harry was Australasian clog-dancing champion in 1871 was extraordinary.
My advice gets misconstrued as being mean.
Yes I've had my nose done.
I go through the same trials and tribulations as anyone else.
Friendly Fires were dull, and I wouldn't really sit down and listen to Hot Chip.
If you really have a passion for something, you should follow it and listen to your inner voice.
I danced with Courtney Act, which was absolutely fantastic.
I think women should be paid the same as men. That's for sure. But what would you say to a woman coming in after you've been in the job for 15 years when they've done absolutely nothing to earn it? I don't think that's right.
My ears are too big.
When I was opening my first bank account, the person at the counter thought I was a girl.
My tights split while I was tap dancing in the West End in 1993.
Actors are very emotional, whereas sports people are used to criticism.
I used to go to clubs and sing as myself but people weren't interested. And then I turned up as a woman and suddenly everyone was interested.
When I'm in a relationship I'm monogamous.
