Be who you like as long as you mean it.

Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?

I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because they're so universal.

I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

Some things are just really difficult to do. That's what I find hard. I usually can find a way to do a character to make it real and work. But sometimes it's a struggle sustaining that, because there's such a level of personal involvement and personal, physical, and emotional distraughtness.

I'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.

I'm Scottish first, and it's odd to hear that I'm a Scottish-American.
