Martine Kimberley Sherri Ponting (born 14 May 1976), usually known as Martine McCutcheon, is an English singer, television personality, actress and occasional radio presenter. McCutcheon had minor success as one third of the pop group Milan in the early 1990s, but it was her role as Tiffany Mitchell in the BBC's EastEnders that made her a household name in the UK. McCutcheon left the series at the end of 1998 to embark on a pop career, this time as a solo artist.She had international success, reaching No. 1 in five countries with her debut single Perfect Moment. She released three albums to varying degrees of success, but her pop career stalled due to the poor reception of her third album in 2002. She has since appeared in various television programmes, in films such as Love Actually as 'Natalie', and on stage in My Fair Lady, where her portrayal of Eliza Doolittle won her a Laurence Olivier Award in 2002.

# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | I look very different on camera compared with how I do in real life. On camera, I look my best when everything is enhanced, especially my eyes - I like a smoky eye. In real life, I like myself best in tinted moisturiser, lip balm and mascara. |
2 | I think you have to be careful not to do too much as yourself. Otherwise you stop getting the acting roles, and at the end of the day that's what I love. |
3 | I'm a Taurean, so I'm very passionate and determined and materialistic. Down the years, I've spent a lot of money and saved a bit of money and had a lot of fun. |
4 | 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. |
5 | 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. |
6 | When I was younger, I used to look at movie stars with pencil-thin noses and think about a nose job. I've got a grown-up baby nose; it's not chiseled and structured. Then I saw how beautiful Audrey Tatou was in 'Amelie' and thought, 'She's got a nose like mine, and if she can have a baby nose, so can I.' |
7 | I never rule anything out. I'm an entertainer. Be it presenting, singing, acting, I just do things I love. |
8 | I run or walk three times a week. I do Pilates, too, which is amazing - it makes you longer and leaner. |
9 | I think it takes time to find your natural style and learn not to be swayed by trends that might not flatter you. |
10 | I want to make my mum's life and my life safe. |
11 | I've grown up in the public eye, and every decision I've made has always been so public and often inaccurately reported. |
12 | I've never pretended to be a supermodel. |
13 | If you're a man and you ask questions, you're a genius; if you're a woman, you're difficult. |
14 | There are times when I'm so bored with being healthy and organic that I crave sugar and additives. |
15 | 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. And there are people who always think you are busy doing something else. |
16 | Any actress will tell you, when you've been given a starring role in the initial run of a show, you want to be getting the standing ovations every night, not just on review night. |
17 | A huge part of youth is how you behave: I'm always looking for fun and anything that makes me feel alive - that in itself keeps me feeling young. |
18 | Adele is great because she promotes the idea of being happy as you are. |
19 | Eating lighter makes you lighter. No one can wave a magic wand. |
20 | For me, the show must go on - it doesn't matter how ill you are, you get on and do it. |
21 | I believe love isn't simple, and it's one of the things that makes people break all the rules. |
22 | I can't dance on ice, because I'm like Bambi on ice. |
23 | 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. |
24 | 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. |
25 | I eat foods such as fish, chicken, fruit and vegetables while avoiding red meat, dairy and wheat. |
26 | 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. |
