I live in the day. Yes, I make plans for tomorrow, but I don't get so consumed by it. The time you spend with your family and friends, whatever you could be doing, enjoy them now. I live in the day.

You have to give an element of performance on television.

I have always loved broadcasting - as a child in Liverpool, I would wake up and listen to Morning Merseyside on BBC Radio Merseyside and wonder, 'How do they do that?'

I was terrified about people knowing I was gay. I'd cringe inside at the idea that they'd be talking behind my back.

When I'm really depressed because I have no money I buy a bottle of champagne with my last pennies - it's the best way to cheer yourself up.

In college, I wanted to be a child psychologist. Acting was just something on the side to make money. And it was fun.

One could make money and get a career going with a low-budget horror film about killers attacking on holidays. It is always flattering to have somebody copy you.

Family is the most important thing: you can't buy them with money.
