I've always believed that as an actor anything you're asked to do is within you. You just have to try and find it.

I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang.

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

Acting is a really insular thing.

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

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

Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.
