I think kissing scenes always feel awkward but there's just no way around it. But it's a part of the job.
I have a side of me that doesn't care. I really enjoy physical comedy, thinking of an idea and pitching it to the director.
I love marriage. I think it's a wonderful institution and it's the most important decision you make.
I think all married couples tend to run things by each other in every capacity and we're not different to them.
My name is actually quite a popular name in Scotland. People elsewhere always think it's far more exotic than it is. In Scotland, it's a common name.
I think there is nothing sexier than a handlebar moustache.
I think your heart dances to the beat of your own drum, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.
I love the power women have. I think women rule the world because they rule men. Manipulating men - that's our job. That's what we're on the planet for.
On Nicole Kidman: She's a mum in her thirties with slag's hair. Look at all that frizzy s**t! She thinks she's a girl.
When you shoot an independent movie you have a very limited amount of time, and you don't want to be that actor, when a poor director is trying to get through a movie, that you're asking at every second to discuss performance.
I've never been a method actress; I've never been that person that wants to imagine horrible things happening in your own life in order to exploit them for your emotional being in the movie. I'm just not good at doing that.
I don't really watch many heist movies. Actually, I have quite eclectic tastes, but I tend to watch just foreign films. I don't know why that is. I'm not particularly deep or anything, I just like foreign movies.
After 'Wedding Crashers' I was just surprised as to the lack of comedic female material there is. So I had to start working and getting stuff out there for myself.
You know, I didn't get to go to university because I've been acting since I was a kid.
