I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube.

I suppose I just like being arty. That's all. Arty.

I'm not an extravagant man. The fact that I can have a coffee out whenever I want still makes me feel grateful.

There is no greater symbol of the artistic spirit of Scotland than the Mackintosh building. But more than that it is a symbol of where art belongs, rising as it does out of the heart of a great city. A mighty castle on a hill, it is a part of me, and of all Glaswegians.

I hate restaurants that play music. You come out for a quiet meal, and you're supposed to put up with all this booming. Why? It's madness!

If you actually have to engage with somebody who's superior to you and actually battle with them, struggle with them, I think it's more interesting, and funnier for the audience.

Real heroes are all around us and uncelebrated.
