“I've always seen the best in people.”

“If I ever get chatted up, I never realise it. I just think men are being friendly.”

“If I feel like I need comfort food, I'll have a bowl of porridge with honey, and instead of a sweet sugar fix, I'll eat a probiotic yogurt.”

“I just love performing.”

“There comes a point in your life where you have to accept that you cant work all the time because there are people that need you waiting at home.”

“I like to keep things moving; when I say moving, I mean different. I like to keep things changing in my life all the time, so sometimes it might be drama; sometimes it might be drama. At some point, I might get the chance to do something musical.”

“When I did 'Opportunity Knocks' at 14, it was singing in other people's voices. So I'm more comfortable doing that.”

“Time is so precious with kids that you have to spend as much time with them as you can.”

“I do have the tan done now and again. I go for something called a Fantasy Tan.”

“Sunday nights are my favourite.”

“There was always comical aspects of everything I've done, 'Playing The Field' again, I played a comical character even though it was a drama - I like the light and shade.”

“I love comedy, but I feel like I need to keep doing drama when I can.”

“I love being educated by historical novels.”

“My view is that homeopathy is what you can do before you go to a doctor, not instead of going to a doctor, and it's a way of being positive and pro-active about health.”

“They say behind every great man is a great woman, but I think it works the other way round as well.”

“On Saturday morning, I like to get up early and go out - TV is banned!”

“I've got no brothers or sisters, so it's really important for me to have friends who I've known for years that I really know I can trust and rely on.”
