I was bullied. I was a bit of a geek. Good-looking guys were off-limits. I didn't start dating until I was 18.
From Michelle Ryan
I was shy and really into my school work and my drama. Then I joined 'EastEnders' at 16, and it was work, work, work. You become very isolated. I rarely went out and so didn't get to meet anyone.
For me, once I've worked on something and it's finished, it's like an ex-boyfriend: you don't go back to them.
I adore water, so it would be a real adventure to visit the Amazon before they chop down all the trees.
When you fight on set, you try to not hurt anybody.
If I am not working, I won't wear makeup and I will wear flats.
Obviously I'm not a violent person; I don't like violence, but I would definitely go into defending myself if the situation arose.
I think it's so important as an actor that you hang on to your own inner compass, because so many people want to guide you - 'This is what you should you be doing'. But I want to do different things.
I just don't know anything about jazz, really. I've never really listened to it, but I'd definitely like to discover more about it.
I really like Billie Holiday's husky voice, and I'd definitely like to find out more about her.
