I think I have a natural, if I can say that, got a kind of natural ability in comedy.

People in Scotland appreciate homegrown talent, but it's getting harder and harder to get films made in Britain.

I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.

My understanding of zombie movies is people rising from the dead, from their graves, stuff like that, and walking very slowly.

Every actor I think has got their own number of takes that they like, you know. Some actors like to go all day, you know on the one scene and some actors want to take two takes. I personally like four.

Early days, I was a bit racked , particularly when I did Hitler, for CBS . That was hellish. That stayed with me for quite a long time.

In the late '70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn't do TV and vice versa, but that's gone now.
