Being attractive, it's not something I do consciously. It's incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents.

To be honest, I think that I am a bit of a singer, coming from Wales; being Welsh, we are all very proud of our singing heritage.

As an actor, I've always said, half the audience is going to love you, half is going to hate you so just live with it. It's easier that way.

I know there are some actors who are just brilliant at improvising and brilliant at just being in the moment and doing it there and then. I'm not one of those actors.

I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am.

A few people have said that I should change my name and the spelling so that people can say it, but I don't want to, I like it the way it is.

Television is what we're all very attracted to because that's where the best writing and the best characters are.
