I think my biggest appeal for fans is probably the fact that I'm honest. I'm up front about who I am. I'm a little naughty. I have a naughty side and everybody knows that. But I know when to use that and when not to.

I don't call myself an actor, I call myself an entertainer, because I don't just do one thing.

I have a real passion for driving. Earlier on in my life I wanted to be a race car driver. But I don't pay an extortionate amount of money for cars. I'm pretty frugal.

Desperate Housewives' was a good experience, though, as I got to play the bad guy for once. My only complaint was they had me in a lot of sweaters.

You can be in the public eye all the time and still have a private life, but the important thing is to keep in touch with the people who put you there.

Whenever I'm in Glasgow I go and stand outside the front of the house I grew up in, which is in Mount Vernon.

As an actor, I only play what is in the moment, rather than in the future, but sometimes the past is more important than what is coming up in the future.
