I like people like Ani DiFranco, a band called Elbow, of course John Lennon, George Harrison, Barry White. I have a lot of different influences and hopefully they all come together and make some sense.

After I've been in America for a while, I get homesick for Scotland.

For me, what makes great actors, always is how truthful they are to the character and the story and the emotion that they're trying to tell.

I think all art is subjective - that whoever's watching it or listening to it will decide whether it's good or bad.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun to go to these nights out, like the opening of a film or something, but I dip in and out of it.

Sometimes the songs you think will be best don't turn out to be best.

People are scared to make something that doesn't look like another film that made a lot of money. It means we get 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' made again and again.
