[Vice chairman of Barbour] Helen [Barbour] and I realized that I come from the same village that her ancestor John Barbour came from, who created Barbour. It just seemed like such a great connection.

Theres something about the silence of people listening to someone or watching someone - I just I love that.
childhood lucky
I'm very lucky. I had a great childhood.
needs honest language
Shakespeare language is fantastic, and to be honest, you dont need to do anything to Shakespeare.
men kind obsessed
I'm kind of obsessed by Everest and all those men that mountaineer and take themselves to extreme limits. Having gone back to Scotland to work on Outlander, I've been climbing a lot and getting out in the Highlands.
love moon obsessed travel
I'm obsessed with the moon and space travel, so if I could incorporate that, I'd love to go to space.
I auditioned for 'Game of Thrones' seven times! Loads of times.
Scotland is about layering. The weather changes every 10 minutes.
almost edinburgh sort
My accent is... sort of an Edinburgh sort of soft southwest Scottish accent. It could almost be English.

I've always been into endurance sport, which I think is more about your mind pushing your body, which is definitely why that Bear Grylls book sung to me.
