I'm kind of obsessed by Everest and all those men that mountaineer and take themselves to extreme limits.
-
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'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.
-
People forget actors can adapt and change their appearance. In this industry, people sometimes cast to type, or as close to type as possible, but actors are a lot more versatile than you think!
-
Female clothing seems to be extremely difficult and almost like a puzzle for a man to take off. But I think if you get there, you win. A kilt is the complete opposite. The kilt is so easy to take off.
-
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.
-
I grew up in Scotland, and everyone wore Barbour. It's very practical; it's very outdoorsy. It's what the gamekeepers and the fishermen and the farmers would wear.
-
You do have to learn how to wear a kilt, and it's certainly very liberating and very freeing, but surprisingly very comfortable to wear, to ride a horse in a kilt. I was surprised by that.
-
My mum is an artist. I guess that helps; she's very supportive.
-
I think that what I'd like to instil is that if you join the youth theatre, it's a gateway into greater career prospects.
-
This family at Barbour, they've made me feel very welcome.
-
Gingers get a bad rep. They get teased at school. So we should feel sorry for them.
-
I didn't want to be one of those arty nutcases.
-
I was brought up in a very rural area on grounds of a castle. It was a working farm, and I even remember the local shepherd wearing his Barbour jacket.
-
You have to trust that the script is right and be comfortable with everything, and then you just have to go for it and disregard anything you've previously heard or felt about it.
-
'Blue Valentine' was a really sad movie, but I loved the moments when they're discovering each other for the first time.
-
I spend so much time in front of mirrors as part of my job that I try to avoid them outside work.
-
A lot of my family are redheads, but I'm a dark blonde.
-
Since the show started, Scottish tourism has increased a great deal - there is definitely an 'Outlander' effect.
-
It's always nice when someone comes up to you and tells you they enjoy the show. At least they're not coming up and saying how much they hate it.
-
I don't know if anyone knows if they're ever any good, but I went to drama school in Scotland, in a classical acting course, and my first year, I remember one of my tutors telling me that I couldn't act, and I should give up and all this sort of thing, and then, they cast me as Romeo in 'Romeo and Juliet.'
-
I'd love to time travel.
-
I'm obsessed with the moon and space travel, so if I could incorporate that, I'd love to go to space.
-
My family were pretty big hippies.
