I am always impressed with Andrew Scott’s ability to have sexual chemistry with everyone. The man could seduce a shoe.

I do sometimes play characters that are a bit ambiguous. You’ve got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of people not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them. -Andrew Scott

It’s a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama. -Andrew Scott
Did Pride make you feel political about your sexuality? “It made me feel that people have to stop talking about the difference between people. The difference between England and Ireland, men and women, middle class and working class people, gay and straight people… It’s endless. People are more similar than we think. That is a political ideal I think. I feel enormously positive, maybe I’m too optimistic, but I think this film will change attitudes. One of the reviews said it’s a film that makes you want to punch the air - and that’s exactly how Pride made me feel.” - Andrew Scott
