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

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.

Rather than thinking, 'If I do this, and in five years I'll be where I want to be,' you're better just doing something that makes you happy now.

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 think Scotland has some great stories.

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'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.
