More From Isla Fisher

My own experience of growing up as a roman catholic in scotland has led me to fear independence in scotland. the possibility of scotland being a kind of stormont is a real one. i wrote a book recently about neil lennon's year of living dangerously and in the course of it i had to revisit some of my own experiences. of course, most scottish people are not swivel-eyed, loyalist sectarians but there are a large number of them. a large six-figure number, and if i were living in scotland as a roman catholic i would be worried about that.

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

I think, because of my background, which is slightly more exotic than the average british actor, i think, i sort of occupied this little niche quite early on of playing the foreign guy. it started way back at drama school, i played an eastern european heavy, i played the russian mobster. and i have done all those different ethnic roles, and i think it's partly because of my look, i think i've got an adaptable sort of nondescript ethnicity, which you can't quite pin down, but it's enough to kind of get a flavor of something.
Drama School Thinking
Common sense is not something rigid and stationary, but is in continuous transformation, becoming enriched with scientific notions and philosophical opinions that have entered into common circulation. 'common sense' is the folklore of philosophy and always stands midway between folklore proper (folklore as it is normally understood) and the philosophy, science, and economics of the scientists. common sense creates the folklore of the future, a relatively rigidified phase of popular knowledge in a given time and place.

Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. there are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic
