There was all of about 30 kids where I went to school; we were all one clique.

I went to school for culinary arts. I love to cook. That's a talent not a lot of people know about.

As far long-term aspirations, other than acting, I do want to direct a little bit. I want to get on the production side and eventually start a production company and maybe make some projects of my own.

For the most part, it's about keeping the same people around you - people who really care about your well-being - they keep you focused.

It's strange. At some point in your career, the situation between yourself and the camera reverses. For a certain number of years, you court it and you need it, but ultimately, it needs you more, and it's a bit like a relationship. The minute that happens, it turns you off... and it does feel like it is taking something from you.

In my music career, I never was interested in working and writing and creating songs based on what kind of rewards I could receive in return - a hit song, per se, is what most contemporary artists have to deal with when they deal with a label.

In my career, all my most important breaks have come from Edinburgh. Winning awards, being reviewed, bagging my BBCR4 series and the chance to tour has all come from Edinburgh, which begs the question, why the hell have I left it so long to come back?

I've been an entrepreneur and venture capitalist in the cryptocurrency industry for a long time, working with numerous projects.
