I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now that would be interesting.
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.
I've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
Success is tricky to deal with, both professionally and in your personal life.
I was born in '71, so I remember bits of glam rock on 'Top of the Pops' toward the late '70s, but I had no idea what kind of world it was. I didn't like the music, either.
