I was brought up in Scotland and have always been a country person, although the town means a great deal to me, too.

A relationship is lovely if you're happy, comfortable in it and you really like the person. I can think of nothing better. But there's nothing worse than having a relationship in which you feel no interest.

Acting and writing go together. Actors write because they love words and becoming other people - we love to escape into other characters.

I feel I'd like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world.

I have thought you could not give everything to your books and also to your children, so for a long time, I thought if I had a child or a family, I'd think, 'How would I support them?' because basically I would stop writing.

I'm a really nostalgic person. I love taking photos and video and having memories. I remember all my childhood videos that my dad used to take. I think that's really what life is about - especially when you start a family of your own.

I come from the family of farmers. I am a son of a farmer.

I never planned my career in the film industry, in acting. Yes, I always liked acting, but never ever I thought it would be my profession. I wanted to study, since my family has an academic background.
