I took a long time after 'Curious' to find something I really wanted to do.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
Most people feel like they're out of step, so just have the conviction to go your own way.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
If you could make telly as good as radio, it would be amazing - audio can do things so easily that television can't.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
'Unforgotten' was a bit of a no-brainer. I'm a big fan of crime dramas, but often the 'investigation' part goes much too smoothly - and you don't get that with this.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
Two of my dramas, 'Unforgotten' and 'River,' were airing at the same time, and Dad had read about my 'success' in a newspaper - he thought it was brilliant. I was thinking, 'Does this mean I'm going to be put in a box for a bit now?'
Quote by -Nicola Walker
In this industry, people like to look at different faces on their screens - even I do.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
My whole family were from the East End, but they moved away when I was a child. They still cannot get their heads around the fact that I ran back to London as soon as I could, when I was 21.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
I was always about working. I like working. I don't like being unemployed. I love acting.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
Yes, I go a little bit crazy when I'm not working, which is an issue for me. My background is you go to work; that's what you do.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
I can't tell you the excitement to be in a new TV series or a play you've got to read for. That's the best.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
I found myself at Cambridge, loved my course, and met these amazing people who got me heavily involved. I presumed I would have to go to drama school, but I did a play with my uni friends, who were doing lots of pub theatre in London, and through that met my agent. She said 'Don't go to drama school. I'll get you a job' and two weeks later she did.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
The confidence and charisma it takes to stand up in front of a group of children absolutely terrifies me.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
You just have to look at me to know what I am feeling. So I would be a useless policewoman or spy.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
We lived in so many flats, and the more people you could get, the cheaper the flat was. Someone was always sleeping in the living room, and you're always slightly hiding them when the landlord came round.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
Roast potatoes - I can't say no. At Christmas, I reach over for the fifth or sixth one, and I think I could keep going until I explode.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
Breakfast is a battle. I never feel like eating, but I have now found my way to porridge. I have it with full-fat milk and banana.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
We bought a sofa with the money I made from 'Thunderbirds,' and I've still got it, and we call it Thunderbird 1. That's literally all I got out of the job.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
When you're working, you're in the present, but you've always got one eye on where your next job might be coming from, and I don't think that will ever go away.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
There are a lot of women - directors, producers, writers - involved in my career. They are all interested in telling good stories, and good stories involve men and women.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
High-end divorce is a closed world. When I tried to research it, I was really surprised about how little there is out there. I think that's because of the nature of the subject matter - privacy is incredibly important to this level of client.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
We're all used to seeing a lot of cop shows, some of them brilliant, some of them very generic.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
There's a really sweet spot with acting where you've finished a job, and you've got another one coming up in three or four months' time. That's my favourite period of unemployment.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
When I'm not working, as a family we are obsessed with jumping off rocks into the sea and doing dangerous things.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
It can be tough to turn things down, but as an actor, being in demand is a nice problem to have.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
When you're a kid, you imagine acting to be singing and fighting and like the movies. Then you become an actor and get the reality, which is often a lot more mundane. But sometimes it's really nice to run around with guns saving the world.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
I find the whole ceremony of marriage a bit like going to work. Putting on a lovely dress and make-up, learning lines, someone doing your hair.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
My make-up call as Cassie on 'Unforgotten' is 45 minutes, and on 'The Split', it's considerably longer. They have to do your hair and your make-up. On 'Unforgotten,' I'm in and out, and I don't have to worry about how I sit for the whole day so as not to crease the clothes.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
The best thing my mum and dad did was to send me to the local youth theatre. I loved that; I felt I'd found the thing I really wanted to do.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
Once you've sat in a room annoying Derek Jacobi while he's trying to do his crossword, you're prepped for working with the greats.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
There aren't many shows that encompass roles for a seven-year-old to someone in their 50s.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
I wish someone had got hold of me and said, 'You know, children are really good fun. You will have a fantastic time, and you will still work.'
Quote by -Nicola Walker
Once I was asked to do celebrity rowing, where they taught people who had been to Oxford or Cambridge to row against each other. That sounded like too much hard work: really early mornings and having to be quite fit, which I'm not.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
When you're both actors, it is feast or famine financially and emotionally in your marriage.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
I could never be anyone I've played. I am so not a detective; I can barely get 200 yards from A to B with the help of Google maps, and I am just about the least observant person on the planet, so I never notice what people look like or how they walk or if they're committing a crime in broad daylight.
Quote by -Nicola Walker
I noticed that, on 'Spooks,' there were a lot of women behind the camera and in different departments.
