From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.

I hate the word celebrity. I'm not a celebrity, I'm an actor.

I never imagined it wouldn't work out for me. I had that absolute certainty in myself that has seen me through, I think, and my parents were absolutely behind me all the way.

Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew.

I'm doing my bit for the women's movement. The women have always been naked in movies, and now I'm just desperate to take my clothes off as much as possible.

I would encourage you as a screenwriter to trust your story and don't make notes for the actors or don't make notes for the reader.

I can't know what I'm going to do before I'm in front of the lens. And I think that sort of makes it exciting.
