One of my complaints with American TV characters is that they all have a particular schtick, a hook.

I've done movies that I've been advised not to do. 'Dog Soldiers,' the movie I did 11 years ago now, I remember my agent at the time was like, 'You shouldn't do that. It's a weird film about werewolves,' and it became a cult hit.

I really just like acting. I'm not always aware of what is hip and what is popular and what is zeitgeist.

In the late-'80s, there was a big push to make American football big in Scotland. The Super Bowl was on TV, but it didn't really catch on. When I was a kid, though, I became a big Miami Dolphins fan. I don't really know why - I just liked the logo, I guess. I didn't really know what was going on.

Grey's' is just a machine. I wasn't really prepared for the epic nature of how popular the show is.

I'm always very excited by something that's a curveball or from left field.

I actually love working with accents. I don't know, something about it unlocks something in me. It makes me concentrate on getting into character a little more, helps me find a focus.
