You have to do bad things in order to become a hero. You have to make sacrifices.

I don't feel sorry for myself, because I'm living my dream. Even when I was a little boy I used to stand in the playground and pretend I was on 'Opportunity Knocks.'

Whenever I'm in Glasgow I go and stand outside the front of the house I grew up in, which is in Mount Vernon.

Honestly, the world can be a dark enough place. Light it up.

I'm lively when I perform and I always put everything into a show, but when I get home I love lying down in front of the TV and relaxing.

I find with television, you have to play personality, whereas onstage, everyone talks about "the character," and what you do. It's a very different thing, because stage is much bigger, but on television, for things to come across to the public, I think you have to play a bit of your personality.

I live my life openly and freely every day anyway, and do what I want to do, but I don't take any great risks.
