Martine McCutcheon (14 May 1976, Hackney, London, England, UK) movies list and roles

I love nice things - I consider Ralph Lauren sheets to be a necessity, not a luxury - but I've known what it's like to be poor.

I eat foods such as fish, chicken, fruit and vegetables while avoiding red meat, dairy and wheat.

I don't want to fly the flag for being unhealthy and overweight, but I don't want to fly the flag for being too thin, either.

I don't think for a second that I'm the best at anything, but I know I'm really good at quite a lot of things because I work hard.

I can't dance on ice, because I'm like Bambi on ice.

I believe love isn't simple, and it's one of the things that makes people break all the rules.

Any actress will tell you - it's really hard. If you're not an A-list Hollywood movie star, if you're in the middle, there are people who assume you wouldn't do certain things without even asking you, when actually you probably would.

There are times when I'm so bored with being healthy and organic that I crave sugar and additives.

If you're a man and you ask questions, you're a genius; if you're a woman, you're difficult.

I've grown up in the public eye, and every decision I've made has always been so public and often inaccurately reported.

I want to make my mum's life and my life safe.

I think it takes time to find your natural style and learn not to be swayed by trends that might not flatter you.

It's taken a while, but I've finally grown up and got my head around the fact that the healthier the food you eat is and the more exercise you do, the lighter you'll be. It really is that simple. Show less «

I've been told if you're an actress you can't sing, if you're a dancer you can't act, you can't do theatre and be respected if you've done a TV soap, you can't have a No. 1 record. All these different things they've told me I can't do, but I wanted to do them, so I've done them. Show less «
