“I still do the same things, but it's nice. If people recognize you, generally everyone's very respectful, very lovely, but I wonder what it's like for real celebrities.”
“My accent is... sort of an Edinburgh sort of soft southwest Scottish accent. It could almost be English.”

“My mum is an artist. I guess that helps; she's very supportive.”
“Gingers get a bad rep. They get teased at school. So we should feel sorry for them.”
“I'd always gone to the theater as a child every month to see whatever was on. I think that's where the passion for it came from.”
“My family were pretty big hippies.”
“I love sci-fi. Growing up, I was a big fan of the 'Alien' series, 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,' etcetera. Plus, anything apocalyptic - 'I Am Legend,' '1984,' 'Battlestar Galactica.'”
“I created my own charity called My Peak Challenge. We've been able to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds. It's helping change people's lives, and I've had lots of wonderful letters about it.”

“Being on your own sometimes is appealing.”

“I do tend to lose myself in whatever job I'm doing or hobby I'm into.”
“If you don't think about or deal with an issue, it gets bigger.”
“I think every job I do, I sort of look for the challenge in. I mean, that's why we do this job. It's not, you know, obviously not for the money or for the fame, it's for, I guess finding out more about yourself.”
