In troubled times the last thing you want to do is to stick your money into a film. It's such a gamble.

I never go anywhere without my iPod.

A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.

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

I played a maniac fan who murders a policeman and she did my makeup. I thought anyone interested in me looking like that must have genuinely liked me.

I feel like I'm the luckiest man on the planet.

I used to be a rabid reader, but now it's scripts or nothing - network television is quite relentless, and you can't drop the ball.
