I bring so much of myself to each character that there's always a worrying point when I think: 'Oh no, I'm really that person.' Michelle Gomez bringcharacterperson Change image and share on social
I'd always used humour as a weapon, as a protection. But being able to make people laugh is a way of not getting in too deep; it's a quick, transient fix. Michelle Gomez deepfixhumour Change image and share on social
I feel so Scottish when I go abroad, and I'm so proud of it, but for me, it's not a political statement - I just happen to be Scottish. Michelle Gomez abroadfeelhappen Change image and share on social

I'm always slightly worried if I do a film and we're filming it in Luxembourg. I know it's going to go straight DVD. Michelle Gomez dvdfilmluxembourg Change image and share on social
I was quite bright, but I didn't do much with it, and I thought acting was dressing up and shouting for a living - which, of course, it isn't. Michelle Gomez actbrightdress Change image and share on social
