“I love walking along Leith's waterfront and wandering around some of N...” — Dexter Fletcher Quote

I love walking along Leith's waterfront and wandering around some of New Town's beautiful streets and squares, with their gorgeous Georgian architecture.

I always devise a background so that it makes what your character goes through logical and keeps up the continuity.

I've been lucky enough to do theatre, film, and television for a career. Unless I get offered a job as an astronaut, I won't stray too far from it.

I left school with no qualifications, but I was doing theatre and film work and thought that was the best thing since sliced bread.

As an actor, there's always that fear. You don't know where the next job's coming from, so you say, 'I'll do that, I'll do that, I'll do that'. Your choices are not always clearly thought out, and you can end up taking mis-steps.

A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.

Rationalism is the enemy of art, though necessary as a basis for architecture.

As architects we are often involved in the concrete-steel-and-glass aspect of it, but cities are social structures, and to be involved in imagining the future of cities and the type of relationships and the types of places that we're making is something that intrigues me very much.

There was an age, however, when the transition from savagery to civilization, with all its impressive outward manifestations in art and architecture, took place for the first time.
