When I moved to London, you could park your motorcycle in the pavement, on the sidewalk. We would stay here and just leave it and go about your business. But now something was sort of encroaching in London. There's cameras everywhere. You can't do anything. You're not allowed to be in a group.

I'm just into making quality stuff if I can, with interesting people and good scripts. But it's very important that it's about something and that it says something. Otherwise, I don't know what the point is, really.

I don't like the idea of not being able to knock about the town, you know.

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

I find that the acting's getting easier - with experience, everything is more instinctual.

I wanted to go and explore the world, I guess. And I suddenly thought well, I'll just do it.

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