In Scotland, I have a huge barn full of woodworking tools. I love working with my hands. I basically just make myself bleed a lot. I'm very accident-prone.
airport australia came love madly met months school
My first heartbreak was extreme. I went to Australia for 10 months when I was at school and told the girl I was madly in love with not to come out to see me - and of course, when I came back, she met me at the airport to tell me she'd met someone else.

Life is about now - some things are just too important to miss.

I've spent quite a bit of time in East Africa.

I'm terribly bad at lying in real life. I flush, look away, do the scratching of the nose, or whatever.

I am starting to hate airports and the whole business of getting onto the plane. It all takes so long I want to scream.
As an actor, you have to understand how you are seen and then play with that. Otherwise, my looks are not important.
convinced four tour weeks work
I used to work as a tour guide for Americans. I'm convinced that even after four weeks on the road they had no idea where they had been. They were in a bubble.

I'm very interested in poo. We don't have a very good relationship with poo, and we should have.

I'm best when I'm feral, when I don't wash or shave or change my trousers for a couple of weeks.

I'm a trained architect. Both my parents were architects.
fidelity marriage
I don't see the point in marriage: if you make a commitment, you make a commitment. Fidelity is important to me; it's about honouring that commitment.
dad labels
I don't have any labels for myself, really. Sometimes, when I am out with my wife, I am just Mr. Thompson. Or at my daughter's school, I'm Gaia's dad. I don't think of myself as Greg Wise, actor.
absolute carry everywhere fact hand plane travel
As a teenager, I used to travel everywhere with my guitar. I appreciated the fact it was with me, but it was always an absolute pain to carry around - even though, in those days, you could take in on a plane as hand luggage.
