I rant and rave about noise pollution.

A lot of the characters I play have problems, they are marginalised, they have serious psychological problems, problems with relationships, with childhood. These are big subjects, big subjects. You can't balk at work like that. As an actor, that's as good as it gets.

The thing I miss the most about Scotland is the football.

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.

Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.

It's much more fun to be ugly.
