Hunger's a great spur.

I don't take a great deal of interest in party politics. Social politics interests me a great deal more.

I often have scripts sent to me with allegedly Scottish characters where I end up telling them, 'You're going to have to rethink this whole thing!

Acting is a really insular thing.

I don't want to be a luvvie actor. It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.

My dad was rubbish at all other aspects of his financial life, but he's pretty good at paying the rent.

I hate the word 'hippy.'
