I like Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte. I also like the Scottish artist John Byrne, another surrealist.

I love Scotland and I speak about it a lot, so people think I'm desperate to go back. They just take it upon themselves to say I'm going back, but I'm not. I'd rather concentrate on becoming a citizen of the world.

Acting is a different discipline. On stage I'm free to say what I please. But the change is very good for ya.

When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it?

I'd never consciously left home to see a zombie movie. They were fine by me, but I had no intention of ever being in one. But I've been learning more about it as I've been doing interviews. I didn't even know there were specialist zombie magazines and clubs. I heard the other day that a radio station had asked people if they`d made preparations for an attack by zombies, and a staggering number of people replied yes!

Don't buy one of those baby intercoms. Babies pretend to be dead. They're bastards, and they do it on purpose.

There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter.
