It's better to have tried and failed than never tried, you can rest easy knowing you gave it a go.
Don't be fooled. Looks can be deceptive. Like every working mother, I'm paddling away like a duck beneath the water.
Becoming a mother has turned my world upside down, but in a really good way - it's the best.
So many people say you have to remember to grab hold of your bride or groom and spend time with them. I think if we had done a traditional wedding, we would have been doing it for everyone else, but this was about the two of us.
All I know is Andrew Davies is an amazing writer; I adore the scripts. I think that Jeremy Piven is outstanding.
Until I'm actually stood on the set doing the job, I always keep my options open.
I would always consider going back to 'Coronation Street.'
The RSC changed my career, and 'Coronation Street' changed my life.

You've got to be brave.
We take each week as it comes; we're juggling just like everybody else. It's all about spinning plates.

If you drop a line in the theatre, you can usually find a way round it. But you can't do that as easily on television - you're in the hands of too many people.
I take one day at a time. I've always been like that.
I enjoy what I'm doing at the moment and try not to think too much about the future.
I'm a very separate person to my job.
There are lots of people in my life I just don't get the chance to see as much as I would like.
I always took 'Coronation Street' a year at a time anyway. It was the 50th anniversary; I'd been there five years. It just felt right to leave.
I really like lads and grew up with two brothers and all of their mates. I'm also close to several actors that I've played opposite.
Awards go up at Mum and Dad's, but home is home, and I don't like to bring the office home.
