I have always felt comfortable tapping into my inner idiot.

I loved Morocco. It's very exotic and different from anywhere I've ever been. I had an amazing day there in the high Atlas Mountains near Mount Tamadot, when I rode by donkey into a Berber village and drank some mint tea with a Berber family. It was exceptional.

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!

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

I'm not a fashionista. I don't have much experience in that world.

I always try to choose material that I would want to go and see. I don't choose movies anymore to be in that other people wouldn't want to see.

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.
