I love going to other people's weddings, but I have never desired a big white wedding for myself, and it has never been put on me as a pressure, an expectation.

The novelty of corsets and dresses and hats very soon wears off.
There are lots of people in my life I just don't get the chance to see as much as I would like.
It's been great for me to play a real baddie.
I'm a good old Yorkshire girl in that I don't like to talk about things that are on tick. As my nana always said, 'Until you've bought it, it's not yours,' so until it's signed on the dotted line, I don't like to talk about it.
I'm quite happy being single.
I remember trying to explain the class system to a Canadian friend when we started at RADA. The funniest thing was when I told her what bonfire night is all about. It's quite dark when you start breaking it down.
If I had a penny for every time I've been asked if I'm going to work in America.
My mum and dad's hobby was amateur dramatics.
I can't imagine soaps will ever stop, because people will always watch as long as they have great stories and characters. But the soaps will have to keep evolving, won't they?
The next series of 'Mr Selfridge' has moved on five years. It's 1914 now, and the war is brewing. Halfway through the series, some of the Selfridges staff have to go off to fight, so they get women in to do the men's jobs.
I remember, when I was a teenager, 'Pride And Prejudice' came out. We hadn't had a period drama for ages, and were all glued to it, and for the next three years, Jane Austen series were being made.
It's hard when something's bigged up because you want people to watch it, so you have to promote it. It'd be great if it was the old-fashioned days when there was no press, and you just switched on and thought, 'Oh, God, what's going on?'
I initially went into 'Coronation Street' for three months. If they had said back then, 'Do you want to do it for six years?' I probably would have said, 'I don't think so.'
All I know is Andrew Davies is an amazing writer; I adore the scripts. I think that Jeremy Piven is outstanding.
What is happening now to me in my career is amazing, so I dwell on the things that are happening rather than the things that aren't, because what's the point? It doesn't make them happen.
I've already been married six times in my career as an actress - twice as Becky - so I think a wedding of my own might feel too much like work!
I'm really looking forward to filming in Glasgow with a top-class cast and crew.
I know lots of people who work in the U.S. but don't live there.
Whenever there was a show like 'Calamity Jane,' me and my siblings would be plonked on stage in a costume because it was easier to have us in it rather than sort out babysitters.
It sounds so boring - and my brothers tease, 'Oh poor you, pulling pretend pints all day' - but it's very, very long hours, and you're knackered when you get home.
The RSC changed my career, and 'Coronation Street' changed my life.
I miss everyone on 'Coronation Street,' but I don't miss playing Becky.
I don't do resolutions, as I am a rebel without a cause in that respect - I always break them by the second of Jan.!
I would always consider going back to 'Coronation Street.'
I used to work at a pub called The Miner's Rest, and the landlord, Dennis, taught me how to pour a proper pint - it's the type of place where the regulars would send their drinks back if they weren't right.
When I read the diary of former 'Daily Mirror' editor Piers Morgan, I realised it was a tough old world to be part of.
I've never been a person to wish for stuff - I just take it as it comes.
As for getting married, I don't have strong feelings, really - I can take or leave it.
I'm delighted to join the cast of 'Field Of Blood: The Dead Hour.'
I've got a green card, so I can work there any time, but I hate reading about actors going to America, because it's not like that anymore.
One of my first memories is running up and down the theatre at Wakefield Opera House.
I'm 30; I don't have any commitments, and there are great parts out there that I want to play.
When I left 'Coronation Street,' I wondered if I could ever be lucky enough to work with such a unanimously wonderful company of good people - and I've just come to that good bunch again.
In the Depression, big musicals made a comeback.
