I left it for seven years before going back on stage. I know now not to leave it so long.

Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew.

I want to wear skinny jeans when I'm in my 70s. Why not? Who cares?

From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.

Mainly I was able to perform with music - I played the French horn, I would sing, and I was a drummer in the pipe band. So I think it was a way to show off.

So, no, I'm not trying to crack into Hollywood, although I'll make films there if they're good scripts.
