In fact, Russell Crowe once phoned me up to see if I wanted to go to a party but I had to bring my guitar and perform Oh Jean.

Acting, music, painting... it's very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all.

I think Scotland has some great stories.

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

I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I'd like to direct rather than act.

I think once you get it in your head, that you're not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.

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.
