I keep waiting to be invited to the hip hop party, I've never been. So if there's anyone out there who is having a hip hop party, I'd like to come.
I want to wear skinny jeans when I'm in my 70s. Why not? Who cares?
Producing good stuff can be quite tough, and it involves a lot of frustration, but I always like things to be jolly and happy, and I forget thats actually not the point at the end of the day.
What matters most with any regimen, whether it's to lose weight or stop drinking or smoking, is your willingness to seek help and your desire to say 'no more.
I loved being in Trainspotting and having to dive into the filthiest toilet in Scotland.
I'm sometimes asked 'Can you lose the accent?'and I say 'No, but I can put on another one'.
There is some really good crack when I come back here. This is where I learned to swear.
I'm doing my bit for the women's movement. The women have always been naked in movies, and now I'm just desperate to take my clothes off as much as possible.
I don't think having separate bathrooms is a key to a successful marriage, if you love one another.
I'm fiercely proud to be Scottish.
I love skiing, scuba diving and hang-gliding.
I won`t buy into the Hollywood thing...I want to be in good movies.
I trained in the theatre and I love the theatre. I get such a thrill seeing anything in the theatre.
I worked as a waiter when I was 15 and got a chance to appreciate good, simple food. There's nothing better than a boiled egg with toast.
