I wanted to be an actor since I was nine years old.

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.

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

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

I`ve got a black woolen hat and it`s got Pervert written across the front of it. It`s the name of the clothing label. And I was with my wife and my baby at the supermarket and I didn`t think. I just put my hat on Clara`s head, because it was cold. And the looks. I couldn`t figure out why I was getting death looks. And then I realized my 10-month old baby`s wearing a hat with the word Pervert written on it and these people were like, `There`s Satan! There`s Satan out with his kid!` And then I made a point of her wearing it every time we went there.

You know, an audition usually is you come in and read the scene and if you're lucky, you get to read it twice.

I'm not a superhero fan. I don't see those films. I'm not interested.
