case exciting historical hope levels moment pieces scottish
There's something very exciting to be the first person to have done something, and that's the case on so many levels with this. The idea of having 10 different pieces launch, simultaneously, is as it should be. I hope that Scottish actors are going to take it to their hearts. This is a real historical moment in time.

Nothing was ever set in stone and we have very much worked from a storyboard as the idea took shape.

I love being in Scotland. I'm looking forward to getting back and having a pint. . . .

As a person, living in New Zealand for a year and a half has changed me as well. In some ways, I feel Hobbit-y , you know?

I'm delighted to be involved with Discovery. For anyone growing up in Scotland who ever thought about a future in the massively exciting world of film, this is the place to discover the opportunities that are out there to help you achieve it.
excited love matter movies people
People love the movies and they just get excited when they see someone from them, no matter who it is. It's always positive.
thinking years want
Rather than thinking, 'If I do this, and in five years I'll be where I want to be,' you're better just doing something that makes you happy now.
holiday florida firsts
Strangely enough, the first time I tried to read [The Lord of the Rings] I was on holiday in Florida. I dropped it in the pool my first day there. If that's not a Pippin thing to do, I don't know what is.
thinking acting scripts
I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I'd like to direct rather than act.
white people together
I like people like Ani DiFranco, a band called Elbow, of course John Lennon, George Harrison, Barry White. I have a lot of different influences and hopefully they all come together and make some sense.
weekend hair people
The club thing is a world people can associate with, letting your hair down at the weekend.
lying leaving noon
Life in LA is not lying in the sun for months. It is having a 4pm meeting and leaving at noon to sit in traffic for four hours. Its not glam.
party guitar facts
In fact, Russell Crowe once phoned me up to see if I wanted to go to a party but I had to bring my guitar and perform Oh Jean.
song thinking sometimes
Sometimes the songs you think will be best don't turn out to be best.
