I've always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.

For some reason I seem to be a massive hit with middle-aged women. I seriously don't know what it is.

I trust the [series] writers when I'm filming, because it's interesting for me to go in every week and see what's going to happen, and the challenge for me as the actor is to make it work.

I am not one of those actors who dwells on the histrionics and the subtext and future text of the character. I deal with the scenes that I'm doing at that specific time, because if I do that, they play in more of a real way.

I'm one who will always speak my mind and say what I feel!

There's a lot of me in Captain Jack and there's a lot of Captain Jack in me. And there is no pun intended.

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