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.

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'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.

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.

Sometimes the songs you think will be best don't turn out to be best.

I think Scotland has some great stories.
