I wanted to make sure that I was making films about the world. So I thought well, I should go and see it. I'm spending a lot of time in - we call them caravans in Britain.

If I want to do the kind of work that I like to act in, I need to open my mind to it.

There's something that happens where you go, if you're lucky, goodness me, from film to another film to another film. And you can sort of feel that if you step off that treadmill, it might all go horribly wrong and you might never be employed again, you know. And I suddenly thought that that's not necessarily the case. And I also thought we make drama as actors about people in the world and that if you are on that treadmill, you start making films about other films.

I love skiing, scuba diving and hang-gliding.

Mainly I was able to perform with music - I played the French horn, I would sing, and I was a drummer in the pipe band. So I think it was a way to show off.

I won`t buy into the Hollywood thing...I want to be in good movies.

I was determined to make working with UNICEF not just something that I did on the trip but something I'd do for the rest of my life
