I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now that would be interesting.
I’m fiercely proud to be Scottish.
I like to dance, but it’s not my weekend activity. I’m not a clubber.
I don’t think having separate bathrooms is a key to a successful marriage, if you love one another.
I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something – that solitary existence.
I left halfway through my third year to start Lipstick On Your Collar, which was the first thing I ever did.
I love skiing, scuba diving and hang-gliding.
I think rehearsal can be important if it’s done in a way that works. Often, rehearsal can be a waste of time.
I find that the acting’s getting easier – with experience, everything is more instinctual.
I especially love my Moto Guzzi.
My feeling about seeing the world is that its going to change you necessarily, just the very fact of being out there and meeting people from different cultures and different ways of life.
A tent, a roll mat, a little bit of food, a bit of petrol in your tank and a vague idea of where you’re going and that’s all you need.
Producing good stuff can be quite tough, and it involves a lot of frustration, but I always like things to be jolly and happy, and I forget thats actually not the point at the end of the day.
I’ve always been really uninterested in politicians and the acts of the Houses of Parliament, or government as an idea. But I’m interested in politics in that I’m a member of the world, and I have strong feelings of right and wrong, but I can’t get into the ins and outs of it.
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.
The thing about parenting rules is there aren’t any. That’s what makes it so difficult.
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’m doing my bit for the women’s movement. The women have always been naked in movies, and now I’m just desperate to take my clothes off as much as possible.
It’s important, that spirit of youth, and when you’re 16 that can get you kickstarted.
I love romance. It goes back to the films I watched as a kid.
