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.

To play one of the main characters in it, it's not the kind of thing you don't do. Oh, I'd rather not play Pippin in Lord of the Rings... In fact, I'm trying to think - what else would you rather do, you know? I can't actually think of another job that I'd rather do.

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.

My worst habit is whistling while I sleep.

I'm so pleased that I'm coming back to Armageddon, just to meet everyone. I'm very excited about doing it, I've heard great things about Armageddon and I'm just really excited to get there.

Hobbits are a lot like Scots. It’s all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing.

I think Scotland has some great stories.
