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.

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

But you talk to most filmmakers and it is six, seven, eight years trying to get things off the ground. It is incredible really.

I'd like to win a Booker Prize for writing. A Nobel Peace Prize for my work in peace... and I think that'll probably do.

I was probably about fourteen I think, and probably like every boy who's fourteen that writes a song, it was about a girl. It was about a girl who I really liked, but she didn't like me as much as I liked her. I think most guys go through that.

I think Scotland has some great stories.
