song thinking sometimes
Sometimes the songs you think will be best don't turn out to be best.
thinking scotland stories
I think Scotland has some great stories.
thinking given havens
I think I have a gift, but I haven't really opened that gift yet and given it to myself.
thinking ethos bigger
I think once you get it in your head, that you're not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.
art thinking listening
I think all art is subjective - that whoever's watching it or listening to it will decide whether it's good or bad.
thinking hair looks
I think the ears are a strange look for me. Quite big. But I loved the hair down to my shoulders. It felt right. I'm thinking of letting my hair go.
thinking acting might
Acting, music, painting... it's very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all.
beach thinking venice
I loved going surfing down on Venice Beach. Id go out with a board under my arm and think, I cant do that in Cranhill.
writing winning thinking
I'd like to win a Booker Prize for writing. A Nobel Peace Prize for my work in peace... and I think that'll probably do.
jobs character thinking
To play one of the main characters in it, it's not the kind of thing you don't do. Oh, I'd rather not play Pippin in Lord of the Rings..., In fact, I'm trying to think - what else would you rather do, you know? I can't actually think of another job that I'd rather do.
thinking acting scripts
I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I'd like to direct rather than act.
thinking years want
Rather than thinking, 'If I do this, and in five years I'll be where I want to be,' you're better just doing something that makes you happy now.
case exciting historical hope levels moment pieces scottish
There's something very exciting to be the first person to have done something, and that's the case on so many levels with this. The idea of having 10 different pieces launch, simultaneously, is as it should be. I hope that Scottish actors are going to take it to their hearts. This is a real historical moment in time.
forward looking love
I love being in Scotland. I'm looking forward to getting back and having a pint. . . .
