I'm very focused when I'm making a movie, but I'm also a fantastic multitasker.

The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.

My background is Scottish.

Anything dark and emotionally complex, I'll do it. You're acting, but when you take an acting role, you have to live it. You're living the life of that person.

I don't know, I think people who meet me just get pretty much what I am.

From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I'd use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.

When you get the role, it's 'cause you know exactly how to play it, and they know that the way you're playing it is exactly what they want. I never go with a role and say that I need to change anything about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't take it.
