For Me, It's A Voyage Of Self-discovery. I'm Able To Go On A Set And To Explore Situations, Personalities, People And Characters That Are Close To Me, Or Maybe Not. Through Going There And Experiencing These Different People And Their Situations, It Helps Me To Get Oriented And Develop As A Human Being. So, Acting Is Fundamental To Who I Am.

A Lot Of The Characters I Play Have Problems, They Are Marginalised, They Have Serious Psychological Problems, Problems With Relationships, With Childhood. These Are Big Subjects, Big Subjects. You Can't Balk At Work Like That. As An Actor, That's As Good As It Gets.

Acting Is Probably The Greatest Therapy In The World. You Can Get A Lot Stuff Out Of You On The Set So You Don't Have To Take It Home With You At Night. It's The Stuff Between The Lines, The Empty Space Between Those Lines Which Is Interesting.

The Thing I Miss The Most About Scotland Is The Football.

I Don't Take A Great Deal Of Interest In Party Politics. Social Politics Interests Me A Great Deal More.
