Fame terrifies me. I can say that with honesty. You're terrified that, when people know the real you, they won't like you.

In other films and TV shows, we might say, "Well, they're just evil." In our show [Daredeval], we're trying to say, "There's bad actions, but not necessarily bad people."

It's very, very tempting to make a superhero film or show and make it about the powers.

I am incredibly self-deprecating. It stems from self-doubt.

I left Britain in the mid-1990s when TV was going down the cundy - another good Dundee word - because I wanted a film career. But as I get older, I find myself being drawn back to my roots, and I'm loving it.

When you think about justifiable anger in one's personal life, we look at those scenarios in everyday life and through our story with a superhero, we heighten them.

Of all the London theatres, the Donmar is the dream.
