I don't pay much attention to career or what other people think. I've always been quite arrogant.
-
From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.

A lot of parents tell their children that if they want to be an actor, that's fine, but they should do something else first, so they've got something to fall back on. It doesn't work like that, as far as I'm concerned.
-
I'm not really attracted to action sequences, because my experience is that it's quite a slow process to shoot them, and often we're not involved as actors.
-
I trained in the theatre and I love the theatre. I get such a thrill seeing anything in the theatre.
-
Above all things I believe in love.

I'm sometimes asked 'Can you lose the accent?'and I say 'No, but I can put on another one'.
-
If you're not engaged in the writing and it doesn't grab you then you just don't want to do it.
-
I want to wear skinny jeans when I'm in my 70s. Why not? Who cares?

There's something that happens where you go, if you're lucky, goodness me, from film to another film to another film. And you can sort of feel that if you step off that treadmill, it might all go horribly wrong and you might never be employed again, you know. And I suddenly thought that that's not necessarily the case. And I also thought we make drama as actors about people in the world and that if you are on that treadmill, you start making films about other films.

I especially love my Moto Guzzi.
-
I'm just into making quality stuff if I can, with interesting people and good scripts. But it's very important that it's about something and that it says something. Otherwise, I don't know what the point is, really.

My heart aches completely, every hour, every day, and only when I'm with you does the pain go away.
