I used to play the trombone and the trumpet, which I still have, but I haven't picked up for a long time.

My best time is a 3:20 in Paris in 2010, and I trained to try for a 3-hour marathon in New York, but Hurricane Sandy hit, and it was canceled.

When I was growing up, we had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, chickens - a whole menagerie.
-
'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.
-
I do tend to lose myself in whatever job I'm doing or hobby I'm into.
-
I guess I'm quite practical. Or at least like to think I am.
-
When anyone recognizes you on the street, they are always very nice and genuine and excited to meet you.

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.

The classic, 'Romeo and Juliet,' for me, is the iconic story of young love.

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 love hillwalking and have been doing a lot of climbing.
-
'Outlander' is progressive in the way it looks at women.

I'm rediscovering Scotland; I'm falling in love with it again.
-
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 tested on a lot of TV shows and films after I finished drama school.

I wholly promote the omelette as a meal whatever the occasion, especially your last one.

You've got to bring yourself to any character you do.
-
I love the outdoors. I love climbing mountains.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Everyone should just be exactly who they are.

When I was going through school, I joined the Lyceum Youth Theatre, and that kind of cemented it. Through being in and around the building and watching shows, I realised that there was something I really loved about it, so I went into the stage management side.
