I was with a friend of mine recently who was dying and while he was lying there with his family around his bed, I just knew that was it, that was the best you can hope for in life – to have your family and the people who love you around you at the end.
As fathers, we know what a force for life children can be. They represent all of our futures.
I loved being in Trainspotting and having to dive into the filthiest toilet in Scotland.
I certainly have no plans to leave London. It’s a great town.
I played music all through school and I kind of performed that way.
It’s just fantastic to go out and meet people in the world and get to really remote places.
Success is tricky to deal with, both professionally and in your personal life.
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.
Above all things, I believe in love.
I’ve been waiting nearly twenty years to have my own light saber. Nothing’s cooler than being a Jedi Knight.
The script, I always believe, is the foundation of everything.
Of course I voted for him. He wasn’t a politician; he was a craze.
I’ve played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I’ve always played guitars and drums and stuff.
I worked as a waiter when I was 15 and got a chance to appreciate good, simple food. There’s nothing better than a boiled egg with toast.
I don’t pay much attention to career or what other people think. I’ve always been quite arrogant.
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 don’t do things lightly; I don’t take a job then just phone it in – I’ve never done that.
From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.
Everything you do on set is directly related to your imagination when you read the script for the first time.
Conservative’s the last thing I am.
