- I have absolutely no preference on TV or stage. Every job I take or that I audition for all comes down to the quality of the script.
- My tips for any budding actors would be to go out and see as much as you possibly can. Find the people you want to work with and be ready to hopefully make them want to work with you.
- I am quite happy that I can still walk down the street every day in a pair of jogging bottoms and my woolly hat, and no one knows who I am. That's nice.
- Yes, both 'Being Human' and 'Outlander' are known for their loyal fanbases. The beauty of both of those jobs was that the characters were very removed from me. So I've been lucky to get off scot-free, without any strange encounters. The wigs, blood, and strange onscreen faces/voices - they haven't found their way into my day-to-day life. Yet.
- When you are playing somebody who did exist, and there is good source material on them, whether it is a biography or archives or experts, you would be stupid not to delve into them. But there is a point in the process where you leave the books alone, and instead, you focus on the script and creating your version.
- Being an actor, for me, is finding people who have a similar imagination or creativity to you and you come together and you are literally like little boys and little girls playing dress up and filming it or in front of an audience. It's a joy.
- I feel like sometimes there is a lack of mystery, you can access everything, people are so keen to tell everybody everything and record everything as well.
