I'm a Conservative, but I talk for the ordinary working classes. I get on with the boys at the pub, but I can also mix with Prince Andrew. I understand both levels. The toffs haven't lived in council estates; they've just known big mansions. How can they understand how the postman feels? I would never say no to becoming an MP.

I got into moisturiser when I played football. If you're out in all weathers you have to take care of your face.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

If all else fails, you could wait for the first corner and tie his dreadlocks to the goalpost.

I always want to try new things, and 'Mean Machine' has given me that chance. I have got plans to carry on acting and would love to play all sorts of roles - you'll see that there's more strings to my bow!

I've always had my ear pierced with a diamond stud. I did it myself when I was 16.

Film is like football - you join a team, get close to one or two people, then never hear from them again. I don't get emotionally involved. Do one, move on.
