When I discovered drama, I felt a connection.
I suppose I've been selfish in the past and put my career first. But priorities change.
I now go to my dad's grave to read scripts and learn lines. It's the most peaceful place. I go to see him, and it's fantastic.
I loved playing a character that women fancied.
I only ever agreed to appear in 'Corrie' for two months, but I ended up staying a lot longer. I really enjoyed it.
Great actors - it's got nothing to do with colour.
I went to the RSC, and I became a leading actor.
Anything that brings people to see Shakespeare is fine by me. He's the great humanist.
If I lose touch with that... the reason why I act... then I'll leave it all. I don't do it for fame or money.
