I don't miss EastEnders. I did a two-stretch. That was enough.

I get on with actors, and when I'm doing a theatre show, it's great being with them all the time. But we're all alike, and it's much nicer being with people who are different.

I'm famous for being a silky midfielder.

I had a weimaraner for 11 years called China, and he was a great dog, a bit mad. They're massive, weimaraners; they've got big floppy ears. They look like a pointer, but they're liver-coloured.

I used to go into bars on my days off, and I decided that wasn't too good for me.

My philosophy is to enjoy yourself. Do the things you want to do, like play golf!

Being a part-time pop star was perfect, really, when I wasn't worn out by the partying.
