What I have always liked about Brighton is its impersonality. Since the 18th century, people have come, used the place and gone home again.

I miss Brighton enormously, enormously. There is so much I miss, including rain. I miss the verdant countryside.

When I moved to Brighton from London in 1995, I was struck by what I thought of as its townliness. A town, it seemed to me, was that perfect place to live, neither city nor country, both of which like to think they are light years apart but actually have a great deal in common.

The Huddersfield that I like best is a large town with a big heart and an open mind.

Of course, New Brighton is very shabby, very rundown, but people still go there because it's the place where you take kids out on a Sunday.

Playing Joanne in 'London to Brighton' was my first taste of film, and I loved every second of it.

It's been great; the whole experience was surreal to me. To go from 'EastEnders' to 'X-Men' was like a dream. I could never have thought when I left 'EastEnders' that I would get this good a gig and so soon.

I hate going out in Brighton now. It's different in London. People respect you more there.

I love 'Made In Chelsea,' and I think it's a great show.
