You grew up with America on the TV, and you think you know a place before you get there, and you have this idea of it in your head.

In television, the audience has to be comfortable with you, and I've managed to prove that I can be in American homes to some degree, and not necessarily where everyone knows me, either.

If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.

It never crossed my mind that one day I'm gonna be big and famous and have my own TV show, you know?

I don't watch TV, so I feel like I'm left out of the American fabric or something.

Television's escapist programming naturally continues to endorse living beyond one's means as the time-tested American Way and rarely depicts families or individuals wracked by the pressures and miseries that come with excess.

You get to that age where you're watching a lot of television, and who doesn't want to be on television?

I never once dreamed of sort of being able to be in an American TV series, you know? It was all about theater and touring and sort of being an actor around Scottish theater.

People think I am America's party girl, which is just stupid. I have done 24 movies and I am creating my own TV show.
