I do tend to lose myself in whatever job I'm doing or hobby I'm into.
-
Every actor wants to, in our own sort of weird sort of way, we really want to push ourselves and test ourselves.
-
I've done a lot of costume dramas and things that are set in the past, and it's great to be able to have things that you can research and material that you can look at.
-
I'd always gone to the theater as a child every month to see whatever was on. I think that's where the passion for it came from.
-
I love hillwalking and have been doing a lot of climbing.
-
I used to play the trombone and the trumpet, which I still have, but I haven't picked up for a long time.
-
The classic, 'Romeo and Juliet,' for me, is the iconic story of young love.
-
'Outlander' is based on a group of books; there's a slight fantasy element to it, but ours is authentic - we try to stick to historical accuracy as possible. Ours is about a small group of people and a core relationship rather than big armies.
-
You've got to bring yourself to any character you do.
-
I'm rediscovering Scotland; I'm falling in love with it again.
-
When anyone recognizes you on the street, they are always very nice and genuine and excited to meet you.
-
There's definitely an interest in Scotland and what happened here. I think the rest of the world are fascinated by our history, and it's nice to be able to bring Scotland and our culture and music to the screen.
-
I never once dreamed of sort of being able to be in an American TV series, you know? It was all about theater and touring and sort of being an actor around Scottish theater.
-
I tested on a lot of TV shows and films after I finished drama school.
-
Everyone should just be exactly who they are.
-
I think trust is the most important thing. If the actors and the director and the crew trust each other and you set up perimeters and boundaries, you give everyone space to do great work.
-
I guess I'm quite practical. Or at least like to think I am.
-
'Outlander' is progressive in the way it looks at women.
-
Working on 'Outlander' has been a delight, it really has. I had kind of forgotten what Scotland was like, and I'd turned into a bit of a Londoner.
-
I love the outdoors. I love climbing mountains.
-
I wholly promote the omelette as a meal whatever the occasion, especially your last one.
-
I've been sent lots of lovely gifts - everything from candy and peanut butter to hand-made quilts, pictures, and clothing. I was once sent a crate of avocados. Fortunately, I love them.
-
Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I enjoy anything where you get to flex your acting muscles, you get to really go for it.
-
All actors are insecure. And I've got my insecurities, which is why I go to the gym all the time.
