Laura: Separating myself from any role has always been hard for me. I get far too involved so easily, or at least I used to - these days I'm finding it easier to get back to reality at the end of the day. No doubt the cocaine didn't help.
Laura: (On her past drug-use) I was ruining my life because that's what drugs do to people. It was an immensely destructive period for me and understandably had a bad effect on my career - someone who isn't nice and isn't reliable is not good to have on set or anywhere else, to be honest. I was young and silly and I let the pressures of the world I live in get to me in a way that they shouldn't ever have.
Laura: (On her past drug habit) I was going mad. Just started going insane. Completely paranoid. Not knowing what was going on. Not able to concentrate, not able to communicate. I felt so alienated from existence and just didn't know what was happening.
Since growing-up in Scotland, Laura has spent a lot of time living in New York, some time living in Ireland and has now moved to London.
Laura was credited merely as the 'Bedroom Beauty' for her role in The Man in the Iron Mask opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.
For her part in The Man in the Iron Mask, Laura merely had to fly to France, take off her clothes, get into bed with Leonardo DiCaprio and act a sex scene before returning home the very same day. However, she admits that having a sex scene with DiCaprio on her resume probably helped her gain future jobs.
Laura enrolled at the Royal Scottish Academy for Music and Drama but dropped-out after just one year.
On moving to London after drama school, Laura shared a flat with famous actress Anna Friel.
Laura married her co-star from Coney Island Baby, Karl Geary, in 2005. He already had a daughter and in 2006 Laura gave birth to a baby girl. The couple live in Glasgow.
