Believe it or not, one teacher used to call me a giant spastic for not being able to play football.
From Peter Capaldi
Before 'Local Hero,' I'd been knocking about Glasgow in rock bands, drinking too much and generally being 21. My opinion of actors was that they were straight and boring, so you see, I was completely unprepared for being one.
If you travel in time and space, most of the people you know and love will eventually be gone. But you'll also be able to go and find them again.
I haven't found anything to complain about. But being Scottish, it won't be long.
I don't have any expectations of anything.
I could never plan to have a career that went this well... you know, there were times when it didn't: when it went into the toilet, or ducked, or was difficult to get moving.
Of course I've had my moments of wanting to go back to Scotland, and I almost did a couple of times, but other things just came up.
If I was to meet my eight-year-old self, I would say, 'Don't listen to what they say about you. Wear your anorak with pride!'
The truth is that I got to Hollywood, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.
It seems to me that most things that are being made are designed for young people. There aren't that many depictions of melancholic older people, even though they form a growing proportion of the population.
