I think Scotland is probably my spiritual home and I love it there very, very much.

Your truth really can't be twisted. It is what it is. That doesn't mean that a person can't develop and change and reinterpret their life.

It occurred to me at some point that what really links us to the past is memory, and there's so much we've forgotten.

I tend to be a very logical, practical person.

I'm a history person, and I love the groundedness of that, of being able to go, "Yes! People acted like that."

History is absolutely my thing.

I think there's a lot that we remember almost chemically, through our DNA.
