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.

In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.

I don't feel I'm a compulsive person. I multitask. I'm really well-organised, and I have lots of people to help me.

I was horrified when Richard Chamberlain and Rupert Everett said gay actors should stay in the closet. They were saying to people that they should live a lie and not be liberated, to live in fear of being found out.

I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.

I had to be a grown-up when I should have been a little boy, and now that I'm a grown-up my little-boyness has exploded out of me. I've lived my life backwards.

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