I've done nudity in lots of things before. It's something that's never particularly bothered me.

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.
I remember in Shallow Grave I remember a few times when we'd only have to do one take. But when you did have to do more than one, you'd build on the one you'd done.
I like to dance, but it's not my weekend activity. I'm not a clubber.
I certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town.
At school there was no acting to be had other than school plays which I did now and again.
I'm just looking for that moment to drop my Jedi knickers and pull out my real light saber.
I'm sure it's not great fun for them, or for any parent, when their child says they want to be an actor, 'cos it's quite an uncertain business and it can be terribly hard for most actors.
I'm fiercely proud to be Scottish.
I played music all through school and I kind of performed that way.
I left halfway through my third year to start Lipstick On Your Collar, which was the first thing I ever did.
From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.
As a child I was taken to the pantomime or the theatre and I would always, always fall in love with somebody on the stage. And want to have sex with them.
I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now that would be interesting.
I'm not a guy who takes films for strong political messages.
I was nine years old when I made up my mind that that was what I definitely wanted to do.
I never imagined it wouldn't work out for me. I had that absolute certainty in myself that has seen me through, I think, and my parents were absolutely behind me all the way.
I got married because I fell in love with this woman. I had a baby with her because we wanted to have children. But that's not because of some philosophical ideal at all, no.
Conservative's the last thing I am.
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.
