Amanda Abbington

I've always wanted to make sure people are okay, ever since I was a little girl.

If you get a script and it's really well written, that's always exciting.

I'm quite a good listener, and I'm good at looking after people.

I've had a fantastic time at 'Coronation Street,' and I'm chuffed at the reaction to Becky. It's been this lovely redemption story, and I think that's what the viewers have enjoyed about it.

So many people have told me that 'Wicked' is their first musical ever and that they're hooked for life. I'm like, 'Wow, you really got it right when you picked this show to be your first one.'

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
