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

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.

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

It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.

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

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'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.
