I'll tell you, there's no goodies and baddies in the world, there's just people with intentions that sometimes clash.

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

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.

Everybody has many people inside of them; I think we tend to present the one we feel is most appropriate at first, in order to gain acceptance or achieve what we want. It gets really interesting when this technique fails, and other levels are revealed.

Growing up in England, you're sort of spoiled, in a way. You sort of take it for granted that within a half-hour's drive, you could be walking around a stately home from the 1700s. It's not very hard to do - in California, you've got to take a flight!

Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around.
