| Quotes: |
[on Trainspotting (1996) in 2012] I was uncomfortable with the explicit nudity. I was in denial, head in the sand about that day's work. I just nodded my head and agreed and got along with it. But nudity's out now. You won't even get me in a bikini on set, frankly. Yeah, I was 19. It was a different body, a different life.
<br />
<hr>
It can get a bit boring working on accents.
<br />
<hr>
I've done TV and I've done film, and I'm not snobby about it. It's about the project.
<br />
<hr>
I'm so not a celebrity.
<br />
<hr>
I'm no good at anecdotes. |
