I've always been quite conscious of it, though I don't know why. I would never overspend, and I have to know exactly what I've got so that I avoid going into overdraft. I watch my pennies, and I'm quite thrifty.

I've got that personality where I've always been determined. As a dancer, I was constantly improving and perfecting. I guess it's innate.

I've achieved everything I've wanted to achieve, so I'm not scared of failure. I never gave up, however bad the injuries got.

Now I'm on television, I'm far more conscious of my skin than I used to be - I would often leave the theatre with layers of pancake make-up still on my face, but on a medium such as TV, I have to be more fastidious.

Looking after myself is something I probably have to be much more conscious of than the average person.

Don't play dead with a vulture. That's exactly what they want.
