| Quotes: |
I hate that term, "Method". It's definitely been given to me over the years, but I don't know if it's true. My belief is that every actor's got their own "method", and as long as it works, that's OK.
<br />
<hr>
People like Jim Jarmusch or Spike Jonze make the kind of American cinema that really interests me. And working with them has, so far, been the only thing I haven't been able to do. But other than that I'm perfectly happy with where I am.
<br />
<hr>
I owe my father everything.
<br />
<hr>
Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I am a very patriotic guy, in terms of my Scottishness and my roots.
<br />
<hr>
I'd totally be attracted to a geek girl! |
