If you are dating someone famous, you tend to be seen as part of a couple, rather than as an individual. But you can't help who you fall in love with. It's unfair when your career suffers - which mine did - simply because of who you're going out with.

Acting can be a difficult business. When I was younger, if my mates were doing better than me, I might be a little bit envious, but as I have got older, I love to see actors cracking on and succeeding. The same goes for writers.

As an actor, you've got to maintain a bit of mystery and at least part of your private life, otherwise the game is up.

Who would I marry? I know, my ego. We'd make the perfect couple.

I can lip read, so I know what other people are saying about me - especially when I clock them in my rear view mirror.

If I were a chocolate I'd eat myself. Seriously, we're all interested in ourselves and what other people are saying about us to some extent.

I think that if youve got 5 million people that enjoy drama and invest in characters, you must take the time to not worry about your job and getting sacked and just go for it and hit it again.
