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.

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

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

My worst habit is whistling while I sleep.

I wasn't into Tolkien at school really. But the story is timeless, the themes that it touches on are contained in cultures all around the world. The innocent on a quest, the pretender, an inanimate object that holds evil - it's really strange that these themes are there in so many different countries' folklore.

I loved going surfing down on Venice Beach. Id go out with a board under my arm and think, I cant do that in Cranhill.

The club thing is a world people can associate with, letting your hair down at the weekend.
