I have been in control of what Ive been doing, of the career Ive put together.
What is the key to life on Earth?
I find still photographs make me quite self-conscious,
Listen, I have to spend every single day living with me, so I know for a fact; I'm lovely, I'm completely lovely.
Because work takes up a lot of time, you have to choose your moments for really letting rip. I hang out with my friends and my family and I spend time with my kids when I'm not working. They don't see my being an actor as exotic. For them, it's just an everyday thing. Sometimes it's amusing to them and other times, embarrassing.
I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I've liked what I've experienced of Glasgow's Film Festival too.
For me, now, working and children is it. Theres nothing more to life.
It is exciting to be off to a new land with a new friend.
I can read people, and if the other person doesn't want to say anything, I'm fine with that. People say things when it's time to say them.
