I'm not intelligent enough to be a doctor, and kind of hands down you can't argue with the worth of that. But I don't really have an opinion about the worth of making art.

I've never got a part in the same way twice. I've never prepared the same way. I've never experienced the filming the process the same way.

I think that the process of trying to become somebody else, and obviously the director/actor relationship in trying to do that, is such a weird, undefinable thing.

I like Scottish people because they feel very true. They're always level and straight. They get a reputation for being hardened because of it, but I find them to be scrupulously honest people.

I grew up in the countryside in the middle of nowhere in England and got out as soon as I could!

I really love living in cities where the people living above, below and next to you are from totally different worlds to you.

I don't really use the Internet or the newspapers to find out about people.
