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.

If you put a label on yourself, people will pigeonhole you.

I don't feel sorry for myself, because I'm living my dream. Even when I was a little boy I used to stand in the playground and pretend I was on 'Opportunity Knocks.'

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.

In everything I do, I find some of myself, or a lot of myself, and put it into the role.

My humour and my work ethic definitely come from my Scottish side, and I have to say the sense of humour doesn't really translate when I'm in America.
