“When anyone recognizes you on the street, they are always very nice and genuine and excited to meet you.”

“I auditioned for 'Game of Thrones' seven times! Loads of times.”

“I never once dreamed of sort of being able to be in an American TV series, you know? It was all about theater and touring and sort of being an actor around Scottish theater.”

“I was brought up in a very rural area on grounds of a castle. It was a working farm, and I even remember the local shepherd wearing his Barbour jacket.”

“Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I enjoy anything where you get to flex your acting muscles, you get to really go for it.”
