My dad sold encyclopedias and my mom worked in a factory office.

I'm basically a sexless geek. Look at me, I have pasty-white skin, I have acne scars and I'm five-foot-nothing. Does that sound like a real sexual dynamo to you?

I love making stuff. There's a joy in having the first molecule of an idea, then testing it in front of audiences at secret shows that people only know about the day before. I videotape those, study them, enjoy being in the character and figuring out the movie.

My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

I'm bigger than you! I'm higher on the food chain - get in my belly!

For me, everything definitely comes from music.

I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.
