That was always very important to me, not to be in debt to anyone, money-wise. I was determined not to take any money off my mother or my grandparents after I was I didn't want to be in a film that featured a couple dealing with the death of their child.
It took two years after the birth of Brendan for me to be at enough of a distance to take on the story. For me, it's about a guy with huge trauma: firstly post-traumatic stress disorder, but also the trauma of not being able to have a child. I've been doing a lot of that sort of stuff lately. Because when they asked me to do it, they needed a quick answer because they were going to lose financing.
So I got the script from my old original email from two years previously and just read that and said 'I'm up for it! Eh, nevermind. And Jess [ Jessica Chastain ] only found out today. It's a fairly hard story to grasp onto anyway. You think it's about a murder case but actually it's about his chase for a promotion, then hopefully you realise what's holding the film together is his deteriorating mental state.
You finally, around 50 minutes in, get the true revelation of what you are really watching. You are watching this man's mind explode. So entertaining superfluous stuff just had to go.
It was a strange day, getting humped by a dog. It wasn't just the dog, it was also the camera and the boom. There were a lot of different things humping my leg at different times of the day. My favourite bit of that scene is when I get it in my mouth by accident. That's one of my favourite bits of the movie, and it's not even in the movie. I've not had a fried Mars Bar since I was about 21, but they're good, man.
And I swore. I usually swear a lot, but I swore a great deal more when making the film and my wife kept telling me to watch my mouth and not to swear around the kid. I've made biscuits, cookies, cupcakes and stuff like that for my kid recently, but other than that I can't really bake bread or anything. Earlier in my career, I used to look at other actors and maybe steal a move here or there, but as I have gotten older, I prefer releasing the idiosyncratic quality that every single person has.
That is truly interesting. In the pursuit of pretending and making things seem real, what is really interesting is watching somebody on camera or on stage releasing things that only they could. That is really beautiful. So it's very strange. I don't know what that is. I play people who are suffering and I will be having a great old time. Maybe to improve my own personal happiness [laughs].
Maybe there is lightness in Scottish characters, but I'm not interested in finding it. I'm really happy with what I've portrayed of Scotland so far, even if it is dark and demonic. My last day on the film [ Filth ] was on the "Reeperbahn", at midnight, face-down, on the concrete with extras and real people and real prostitutes walking past me and not giving me much attention. And if it doesn't, the Reeperbahn will. It was also the end of the shoot and I was really done.
I loved playing Bruce [Robertson] and I'm sad that I'll never play him again, but at that moment I was glad that it was the end. I am very grateful for the awards that I have won, but I have never gone into my study, looked at my awards and thought: "Oh, I am a good actor! Somebody gives you an award, it's great because you can find another great job and maybe win another one, but it doesn't stay with me. My carefree attitude disappeared when my son was born four years ago.
But that's a good thing! I don't want to be as carefree as I used to be. Sometimes it's important that certain things keep you up at night. It's just a shame that you become more cautious and pragmatic with age. I never used to feel restricted by boundaries; anything was possible. And as you get older a fear creeps in that says, life isn't forever.
And my heart also belongs to my son and my grandparents. When it comes to my friends, I'm no longer quite as generous with my love. That's to do with age. I realised that my energy does have boundaries. Nobody has got anything against an actor who is posh and is doing really well. But we are real worried about a society that doesn't give opportunities to everybody from every walk of life to be able to get into the arts, and that is happening. That doesn't affect us right now, but it will affect us five years from now, ten years from now, certainly further down the line.
That's a frightening world to live in because as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts, or culture starts to become representative not of everybody, but of one tiny part, and that's not fair to begin with, but it's also damaging for society. I don't think it matters where actors come from and I don't care if all the actors come from posh private schools. But I do care about a government that doesn't prioritise arts in education.
It is one of the first things that if you take it away, it's a signal that the government doesn't care about upward mobility any more. Art is one the first things you take away from society if you want to keep them down. I think theatre is a sacrificial process. I think the first piece of theatre was when they sacrificed a lamb or a person in front of other people and that's sort of the route of theatre.
Like the route of fine art is cave drawings and the route of novels and great literature is the first scribblings of writing or whatever So every time you go on stage you've got to feel like people are giving something up and leaving something on stage of themselves and this felt like this would give us the opportunity to do that. And it seeps into you. It gets really into your bones, actually.
So it is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's also the hardest thing I've ever done simply because I've got to do singing, dancing, unicycling, playing the flute, sword fighting, crucifixions, backflips and fighting monsters and fighting puppets But that's why I wanted to do it - because it was hard. Because I felt some of the other stuff I'd been doing was nice chamber pieces that weren't actually what theatre is.
I would say to any young person who is thinking about applying to a youth theatre or any of the courses at RCS [Royal Conservatoire of Scotland], go for it, do it, don't be worried about what people are going to say. I came from a place where nobody had done anything like that and it worked out pretty good and nobody beat me up for it, even though I thought they would! So, go for it, do it. It will open your mind, it's not about being an actor, it's about having an experience that is magical, that transcends our boundaries and the things that keep us down.
Drama teaches you to empathise and that stands you in good stead - whether you are going to be an actor, a director or a plumber - it improves your ability to connect with the world around you. It's so weird how different the world was to be an adult without a phone.
It's crazy. And to be like, 'Hey I'll see you Thursday at half past five at that place,' and you would have to turn up. There was never anything of kind of going like, 'Hey are you still up for tonight? There was no likes or dislikes or unfriending people; you just kind of showed up or called.
I try to believe. It's hard - I'm a lapsed believer. My granddad took me to the Glasgow City Chambers once - sort of like city hall. I was just standing in these massive, vast halls, and there was these huge portraits of old leaders of our nation - I don't know, probably not that important, but important enough to be in there - and I remember crossing over a roped line. And I touched [a painting] - and I've tried this many times since - and the whole room spun.
I was very young, and maybe I had low blood sugar or something, but I touched the painting and it was so canvas-y and textured, it felt like it was a 3D thing.
