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

I'm fiercely proud to be Scottish.

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.
