“The heritage of a British actor revolves around the challenges of playing the classic roles to meet certain levels of success as an actor. In America, the heritage of an actor is based on cinema mainly.”
“I actually went to see 'Rushmore,' and I came late, and I missed myself. It was great, that scene.

That's a brilliant scene, and I have to say, we play it brilliantly.”
“I'm 100% Celt. In fact, I'm directly related to the progenitor of the high kings of Ireland, Niall of the Nine Hostages.”
“There's so much light in Broughty Ferry. I think the humour in Glasgow is darker, because it's much more gloomy, there's a perpetual misery there.”

“I used to do a lot of fencing in the theater and a lot of horse riding in the early days, so I'm used to it in a way. If you're classically trained like I am, it's a little bit like mother's milk to me. I enjoy it.”
“I always think I look like the Elephant Man - I can't get used to my own image.”
