I never get the tall, blonde, glamorous roles because I'm not tall, blonde and glamorous. I'm more the wee, disturbing characters because of the way I look or sound.

I like doom and gloom with a sense of humour. Maybe it's a Scottish thing, we like to undercut indulgence with a laugh.

Youth makes you brave, I suppose. When you're young, you make a fool of yourself all the time. Because of all the rejections and the criticism you get all the time, there has to be a drive there.

You suddenly find yourself somewhere and you wonder, how did I get in this room? That happens to me all the time, every day!

I daydream all the time, and I like that quality.

There is such pressure on kids these days to be the best at everything.
