My mother thought Hollywood was a den of iniquity, and people came to terrible bad ends there.
You know, I was a kid when I went into 'Coronation Street' and I had an amazing time. I got some fantastic opportunities from Corrie and from 'Soapstar' and I'd never say they did anything other than help me.
It's funny because all through the '80s I didn't do TV and movies very much. I prided myself that I was making a living in the theater.
