Ultimately, you have to not worry about people thinking you should have played him differently. You're the one playing the part so it has to be yours.

I think the script is the key. Regardless of how great everybody else is working on a film, if you're working on a script that you don't think is great, you're not gonna be able to make a great film. Whereas if the script is great, then you can.

I played music all through school and I kind of performed that way.

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'm just looking for that moment to drop my Jedi knickers and pull out my real light saber.

I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now that would be interesting.

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.

I think it's quite tricky for actors to release albums. It's difficult, because I'm an actor, you know, I'm not a musician. I love singing, but I don't have a big repertoire of songs that I've written; I mean, I've got a few, but nothing that I could fill an album with, and I don't want to do it just for the sake of it.

From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.

I certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town.

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.

I left halfway through my third year to start Lipstick On Your Collar, which was the first thing I ever did.

I like to dance, but it's not my weekend activity. I'm not a clubber.

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 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 was nine years old when I made up my mind that that was what I definitely wanted to do.

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

If you're suddenly doing something you don't want to do for four years, just so you've got something to fall back on, by the time you come out you don't have that 16-year-old drive any more and you'll spend your life doing something you never wanted to do in the first place.
