All that celebrity stuff isn't me. It's just not acting.

I love doing action; I love doing martial arts. There's almost something balletic about it.

'Bionic Woman' really enriched my career. It was a big, amazing thing to do.

When I left EastEnders, I could have earned an absolute fortune from sexy calendars, shoots for lads' mags, fitness videos and reality shows. But I always turned them down.

Doing the same thing day in, day out. It's just so boring. I like to jump from different things.

Soaps are a great springboard for any actor but if you want to be taken seriously, you have to be careful.

Sometimes in life, random things can blind-side you.
