I often have scripts sent to me with allegedly Scottish characters where I end up telling them, 'You're going to have to rethink this whole thing!'

I think I have a natural, if I can say that, got a kind of natural ability in comedy.

It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.

When I look back at it now, my past and the way I grew up, I grew up on communes.

I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang.

The first thing you should know about me is when I was three years old my mother left me and my father. And that was traumatic obviously for my father - he suffered a nervous breakdown at that time in his life.

If there's anything you want to ask your parents, ask them before they go, because once they go, they're gone.

I want to keep audiences off balance, so they don't know who I am or how to take me. If I duck and weave, as Frank Bruno might say, I'll have a longer shelf life.

Acting is a really insular thing.

I rant and rave about noise pollution.
