The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me is starting a family. That's as romantic as it gets.

The great thing about doing physical comedy for film is that if it doesn't work you're not exposed. It ends up on the editing room floor, so it gives you a lot more room to experiment I guess. But I really enjoy doing it. I'm very comfortable tapping into my inner idiot.

Comedy has always been important in my family. If you got in a good joke at the dinner table, it meant more than almost anything else.

An easy way to get people to like you is to make them laugh.

I still write. I'd love to write more trashy chick-lit. At the moment, I just re-write my own lines, which probably annoys most directors - though, thankfully not Adam Brooks!

My name is actually quite a popular name in Scotland. People elsewhere always think it's far more exotic than it is. In Scotland, it's a common name.

I think there is nothing sexier than a handlebar moustache.
