Barbour is a brand that I have grown up with and been associated with since I was living near the borders of Scotland.

I like to have something to base a role on.
I think, anyone in the arts, you're self-employed; it's so difficult.
I love hillwalking and have been doing a lot of climbing.
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.
I lived near Arthur's Seat when I lived in Edinburgh. It was the perfect playground as a child. I always have a wee run up there when I'm back.
I was a big fan of the Tim Burton films. I really liked the character. And I remember thinking the Batmobile was very cool.
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.
I think every job I do, I sort of look for the challenge in. I mean, that's why we do this job. It's not, you know, obviously not for the money or for the fame, it's for, I guess finding out more about yourself.
Gingers get a bad rep. They get teased at school. So we should feel sorry for them.
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.
'Blue Valentine' was a really sad movie, but I loved the moments when they're discovering each other for the first time.
I actually got an initial sense of how big 'Outlander' was going to be on Twitter. We're all on there to help promote the show and also interact with the fans.
I auditioned for 'Game of Thrones' seven times! Loads of times.
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 was a big 'Battlestar Galactica' fan and 'Star Trek' fan. I grew up watching those.
I was born and brought up in the countryside. I used to live in a sort of converted stables on the grounds of a castle, and I spent a lot of my childhood running around with a pretend sword pretending to be Robert the Bruce.
I worked with a couple of chocolate Labradors, which were a lot of fun. Very excitable. They're cute.
'Outlander' is progressive in the way it looks at women.
My mum is an artist. I guess that helps; she's very supportive.
I'm a very boring person.
I won't tell anyone where my favourite place in Scotland is... but it might be somewhere on Skye.
Batman is basically an ordinary guy who had something tragic happen to him when he was young.
I didn't want to be one of those arty nutcases.
I'm rediscovering Scotland; I'm falling in love with it again.
I've done quite a few things based on real events or real people, and I think that's always really interesting that you can read about them or, if you're lucky, you can meet them.
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.
British women can be slightly more reserved; Scottish are a little more crazy and fun, and American are more forthright, which I really enjoy.
The classic, 'Romeo and Juliet,' for me, is the iconic story of young love.
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.
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!
There's something about the silence of people listening to someone or watching someone - I just... I love that.
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.
'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.
My family were pretty big hippies.
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.
Glasgow is certainly a place where they will tell you if they don't think you are anything special.
Scotland is undoubtedly the star of 'Outlander.' I'm so proud of the country and all it has to offer.
Wherever you go in the world, Batman is known. Everyone has an idea of what he should be like.
I'm not into pancake things. I'm into eggs. Lots of eggs.
You've got to bring yourself to any character you do.
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.'
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'm a notorious late-night texter. I seem to use a lot of lip, heart, and tongue emoji.
A lot of my family are redheads, but I'm a dark blonde.
I'm obsessed with the moon and space travel, so if I could incorporate that, I'd love to go to space.
Shakespeare language is fantastic, and to be honest, you don't need to do anything to Shakespeare.
I'm very lucky. I had a great childhood.
My accent is... sort of an Edinburgh sort of soft southwest Scottish accent. It could almost be English.
