I believe that we're not alone. How can we be alone in an infinite universe? I'm using the word 'alien' with a little trepidation because I know that sparks so many different versions of that word, and there are so many different images that come into one person's head when someone says it.
I have always been a big fan of the BBC program 'Luther' with Idris Elba.
Going into auditions, there is a wonderful butterfly feeling in your stomach - an equal balance of being utterly terrified and exhilarated that this is your chance.
With big productions, you can sometimes get lost with the terminology and all the different departments.
If you're like me and love chatting about your latest box set addiction, then Sky Box Sets Club has everything you'll need to kick start conversations with friends on Twitter or in the office the next day.
I feel incredibly passionate about Scotland not becoming an independent country.
I just know that for my honeymoon, I'm not going to go to a cabin in the woods.
I had one day with him, and he was asleep in the scene, but I told my entire family that I was in a scene with Michael Caine.
Growing up in Britain, Michael Caine has always been such an icon. Chatting with him, I know I came across as the biggest doofus. Literally, I was, like, bowing to him.
I'm not yet fortunate enough to take only the scripts that capture my fancy, but each one has to be a new experience, to put me in a light that audiences haven't necessarily seen me before.
I'd love to try comedy, which I've never actually done. I could fail miserably at it, but I'd have fun working it out.
My mum's maiden name was Dalglish, so I have Scottish blood in me.
I didn't get into university, so I had to go to drama college!
The phenomenon that is 'Game Of Thrones' has propelled many actors associated with it into the minds of directors and producers, and it's a fabulous position to be in. It's because it's so adored and respected, of such high quality with such amazing cinematography.
The gap between film and TV is narrowing, and that's great for us all.
I was lucky enough to get into drama school in London back in 2005, and I was there for three years, and in those three years, we did a lot of theater. A lot of classical training.
Oh God, I feel hugely privileged to have not only been a part of 'Game of Thrones,' but also to have a catchphrase. It's a lovely thing.
I personally have been drawn to female roles who are incredibly strong; females who are dominant and know their own mind; who are feisty in their own way without being annoying. I like it when she has a dark side, but she also has a playful side.
The 'Game of Thrones' wardrobe department is so detail-oriented.
I've been watching 'Luther' since the beginning. My family adore it, too, so it was like a passion project for me.
