Both of my parents had a change of career. My mum was a nurse, and now she's a college lecturer.

I expected it to be overwhelming and all-encompassing, but having a kid brings you into the world in a whole different way.

I've always been an actor, a lowly actor without power, so I've never been corrupted. I've never even directed.

Even as a kid, I would always imagine horrible circumstances in which I would find myself in my head, and imagine how I would feel, and act it out a bit for myself, because I was a bit of a freak like that. I love doing things like that, and I get a real buzz from it afterwards.

I'm not interested in using my father's death as some touch point for why I've become an actor - it's grossly opportunistic.

Windmills are going to be the death of Scotland and even England if they don't do something about them. They are ruining the countryside.

Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.

For me, the first fact of human existence is the human body. But if you embrace the reality of the human body, you embrace mortality, and that is a very difficult thing for anything to do because the self-conscious mind cannot imagine non-existence. It's impossible to do.
