I have a very musical family from my Scottish roots.

I have a love-hate relationship with Twitter. There are moments I feel like 99 percent of the people who write stuff are the sweetest people, and then one crazy guy or girl spoils the whole...

American actresses have more problems than I do; I’m lucky to be able to play what I want for a smaller audience, because I have my own country to do that in.
