It's important to make a statement, but don't kill yourself over it. You have to make an effort, but not go overboard.

Be positive and laugh at everything.

My ambition is to become one of those actresses that is like a chameleon that you don't recognize.

Nobody puts Roach in the corner.

That's where my passion was ignited, on the set of 'Pobol Y Cwm.' I loved it and I've had such a passion for TV and films. I can't do anything else.

I had to live and breathe Margaret Thatcher for a few months. I totally engulfed myself in her life. I read her autobiography and a biography, 'The Grocer's Daughter.'

I think the most important thing is to have fun, and not to take things too seriously. Once you start doing that, then you'll start to crumble.

I love leaving the house in a new outfit; I don't feel the pressure at all.

I love all reality TV - Strictly, 'The X Factor.' I really don't see why people are so snobby about it.

Hairpieces are brilliant for adding volume.

Actresses are mental on the whole. But I think I'm pretty normal.

No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.

Take a deep breath, relax and imagine yourself exactly as you wish to be.

When people see what I have now, they have no idea of where I came from and how I didn't have anything growing up.

What's wrong with being a boring kind of guy?

Although some people will say it's a cliché, I think not having had a father when I was growing up affect me negatively because I didn't have a good role model to follow.

One of these days they'll be making a film where the whole human race gets wiped out in a nuclear war, but everything works out in the end.

Tortured for the Republic.

The sea and wind can at the same time convey my neighbour's vessel and my own.

Finally I am becoming stupider no more.
