The classic, 'Romeo and Juliet,' for me, is the iconic story of young love.

I was doing a tour of the 'Batman' live stage production, and I challenged the cast to join me to run. One time, we were running in Switzerland just before Christmas, and it was heavy snow. Another time, we were running down the Seine in Paris on Christmas Day, and we all had Santa hats on.
Shakespeare language is fantastic, and to be honest, you don't need to do anything to Shakespeare.
I kind of crave loneliness.
I am a very loyal man and always keep my promises when I commit to something.
I was born and brought up in the countryside. I used to live in a sort of converted stables on the grounds of a castle, and I spent a lot of my childhood running around with a pretend sword pretending to be Robert the Bruce.
British women can be slightly more reserved; Scottish are a little more crazy and fun, and American are more forthright, which I really enjoy.
Glasgow is certainly a place where they will tell you if they don't think you are anything special.
You've got to bring yourself to any character you do.
I was traveling a lot as a young actor, and while in a new city, I'd want to see the place, so I would just put on my trainers and go for a jog. And the more I did that, the more I found I was traveling longer and longer distances. I just fell into it.
I love a burger and fries, but it's not what I crave. I love to eat healthily.
There's something about the silence of people listening to someone or watching someone - I just... I love that.
I'm not into pancake things. I'm into eggs. Lots of eggs.
All actors are insecure. And I've got my insecurities, which is why I go to the gym all the time.
'Blue Valentine' was a really sad movie, but I loved the moments when they're discovering each other for the first time.
It's every boy's dream to play a superhero.
I'm looking forward to losing the long locks at some point. But it's been fun, and I do enjoy it.
I wholly promote the omelette as a meal whatever the occasion, especially your last one.
In this job, you're constantly surrounded by people. There are a lot of demands on your time. And I guess those moments when you can switch off and get away from it are really important.
Everything goes with blond. You can wear it with any color, and it's great.
Every actor wants to, in our own sort of weird sort of way, we really want to push ourselves and test ourselves.
I lived near Arthur's Seat when I lived in Edinburgh. It was the perfect playground as a child. I always have a wee run up there when I'm back.
I like to have something to base a role on.
I grew up in Scotland, and everyone wore Barbour. It's very practical; it's very outdoorsy. It's what the gamekeepers and the fishermen and the farmers would wear.
Youth theatre isn't just about a precocious child that wants to sing and dance in front of people. It's for everyone; it's about a community, it's about being supported by your peer group. You learn skills - not just acting but all the other sides - working in the TV, film, and theatre industry.
I'm a notorious late-night texter. I seem to use a lot of lip, heart, and tongue emoji.
When anyone recognizes you on the street, they are always very nice and genuine and excited to meet you.
I'm kind of obsessed by Everest and all those men that mountaineer and take themselves to extreme limits.
I've done quite a few things based on real events or real people, and I think that's always really interesting that you can read about them or, if you're lucky, you can meet them.
When I was growing up, we had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, chickens - a whole menagerie.
I spend so much time in front of mirrors as part of my job that I try to avoid them outside work.
I worked with a couple of chocolate Labradors, which were a lot of fun. Very excitable. They're cute.
Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I enjoy anything where you get to flex your acting muscles, you get to really go for it.
I love sci-fi. Growing up, I was a big fan of the 'Alien' series, 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,' etcetera. Plus, anything apocalyptic - 'I Am Legend,' '1984,' 'Battlestar Galactica.'
I guess I'm quite practical. Or at least like to think I am.
'Outlander' is based on a group of books; there's a slight fantasy element to it, but ours is authentic - we try to stick to historical accuracy as possible. Ours is about a small group of people and a core relationship rather than big armies.
Female clothing seems to be extremely difficult and almost like a puzzle for a man to take off. But I think if you get there, you win. A kilt is the complete opposite. The kilt is so easy to take off.
I auditioned for 'Game of Thrones' seven times! Loads of times.
If you don't think about or deal with an issue, it gets bigger.
Working on 'Outlander' has been a delight, it really has. I had kind of forgotten what Scotland was like, and I'd turned into a bit of a Londoner.
People forget actors can adapt and change their appearance. In this industry, people sometimes cast to type, or as close to type as possible, but actors are a lot more versatile than you think!
You have to trust that the script is right and be comfortable with everything, and then you just have to go for it and disregard anything you've previously heard or felt about it.
I was brought up in a very rural area on grounds of a castle. It was a working farm, and I even remember the local shepherd wearing his Barbour jacket.
Barbour is a brand that I have grown up with and been associated with since I was living near the borders of Scotland.
Scotland is about layering. The weather changes every 10 minutes.
I tested on a lot of TV shows and films after I finished drama school.
I used to play the trombone and the trumpet, which I still have, but I haven't picked up for a long time.
I'm obsessed with the moon and space travel, so if I could incorporate that, I'd love to go to space.
My mum is an artist. I guess that helps; she's very supportive.
I'd love to time travel.
