The beautiful thing about it is that no two directors or actors work the same way. You also learn not to be afraid of discussion and conflict.

I'm sent a script. I read the script. If I love it, I want to do it. And that's it I don't care who's in it, how much money is behind it, really to an extent who's directing it.

Giving kids whatever they ask for is disastrous parenting. There's no sense of something earned. I'm sorry, but when you're 12, you don't need a new cell phone every few months just because a new one comes out.

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

I'm sometimes asked 'Can you lose the accent?'and I say 'No, but I can put on another one'.

It's impossible to put your finger on what that is exactly other than protecting the environment that the actors get to find the scenes and build the scenes and invest in them. I think that's key and that's what I've learned from all the great directors I've worked with.
