I'm kind of obsessed by Everest and all those men that mountaineer and take themselves to extreme limits. Having gone back to Scotland to work on Outlander, I've been climbing a lot and getting out in the Highlands.

[Vice chairman of Barbour] Helen [Barbour] and I realized that I come from the same village that her ancestor John Barbour came from, who created Barbour. It just seemed like such a great connection.

There's something about the silence of people listening to someone or watching someone - I just... I love that.

I'm very lucky. I had a great childhood.

It sounds almost unreal, but I was born and raised on old castlegrounds - Kenmure Castle.

I don't need to be successful. I love theater and I love acting so as long as I'm doing that I'm happy and I'm learning. If I end up going back to the U.K. to do some theater, great! Sounds fantastic.

Scotland is about layering. The weather changes every 10 minutes.
