Vicky McClure Quotations

When I watch cop shows, I really enjoy them because you can really follow the story and get involved, and the characters are always really interesting.

Oh, I love Nottingham. I know some people go, 'Oh God, there's not much going off there,' but I like staying in and going round to my mum and dad's for a Sunday roast.

If you have a passion and love for something, it's hard to give it up. I had jobs where the people were helpful and let me go to auditions, and I'd make up the hours another day. I was lucky in that respect: I could afford to get to London.

I danced from the age of three, so I was always going to do something performance-related. I got into the Television Workshop drama group in Nottingham when I was 11 and went there for ten years.

Eventually I just want to live a normal life. I want to get married and have children and cook, wash... all the things that I do now. My background is very normal and steady, and that's what I like.

There are lots of people who haven't been to drama school who have great talent and can be discovered.

It is Method on 'This is England;' it is. But it can't be Method on every job because it just doesn't work for everything.

If Madonna asks anybody to go and hang out with them for a month, they'd all do it.

I know that people who have been to RADA and LAMDA can smash accents and do Shakespeare: all those things that I never really trained in.

I don't need a trailer; I don't need to have the luxuries of what is Hollywood, which is why I'm probably not so desperate to get there.
