I always took 'Coronation Street' a year at a time anyway. It was the 50th anniversary; I'd been there five years. It just felt right to leave.
I was earning a living. I was getting into more acting, then 'Coronation Street' came along, and it was the chance of a lifetime.
My dad doesn't watch 'Coronation Street.' But my mum is a massive fan. I'd like to think my dad will watch it for a few token episodes, as I'm in it.
Before 'Coronation Street,' I was a jobbing actor, and after it, I'm a jobbing actor again.
When I appeared in 'Coronation Street,' I lived in Manchester and enjoyed it very much.
If I was a star, it would be difficult to go off and do 'Coronation Street.' So I guess I'm not a star.
I admire the older ladies who carry on working. Look at Betty Driver on 'Coronation Street' - she's incredible.
It sounds a bit cheesy saying 'Coronation Street' is like one big happy family, but there is a real aspect of that.
It would be good to see what the Queen gets up to at Buckingham Palace. I bet she spends her whole time watching 'Coronation Street.'

I remember very much there in Falls Church there was a creek that was flowing down into 4 Mile Run. I believe it's now covered up where it goes under Columbia Street. I found a whole family of weasels down there.
Food Stamp recipients didn't cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did.
Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.
I'm in the Apple store on Regent Street far too much; I'm obsessed by whatever the latest Apple gadget is. For clothes, I love to shop in Liam Gallagher's shop Pretty Green on Carnaby Street, or Cult Clothing in Crouch End, for Original Penguin and G-Star.
While 'Visitation Street' has the markings of a traditional whodunnit mystery - starting with a missing girl, intrigue and many suspicious characters - Pochoda shows her hand early on by fingering a culprit. The book turns, then, into a 'whydunnit.'
Hill Street Blues might have been the first television show that had a memory. One episode after another was part of a cumulative experience shared by the audience.
You want to know the way to raise money? Put a transaction fee on Wall Street, so maybe we can curb some of the speculation and raise some money.
