It's not like there's no work in Scotland, but speak to any actor, and they'll tell you it's limited. So you have to go to London or Manchester to broaden your horizons.
To combine telling an interesting story with brilliantly written characters is the most difficult thing to do.
Socially, I think I'm quite comfortable; I enjoy chatting to people... but I do have my quirks.
Most of the meetings I get are in London, and in terms of travelling, I was getting so used to the Virgin train, I knew most of the staff by name.
I went to uni and then drama school afterwards and lived in quite a few student houses.
I live in east London, but I'm not cool.
Any opportunity I can get to showcase different characters, I absolutely love.
I do have very high customer service standards - I'd send back sushi because it's too fishy.
