I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something - that solitary existence.
I left halfway through my third year to start Lipstick On Your Collar, which was the first thing I ever did.
I find that the acting's getting easier - with experience, everything is more instinctual.
I don't think having separate bathrooms is a key to a successful marriage, if you love one another.
Conservative's the last thing I am.
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.
It's just fantastic to go out and meet people in the world and get to really remote places.
Success is tricky to deal with, both professionally and in your personal life.
