I suppose I'll be able to get a drink there.

The media already attempts to assassinate my character in Scotland when I'm there, so my position is much more effective if I'm outside Scotland and am part of the voice of what the Scottish National Party is about.

But as a Scot with a lifelong love of Scotland and the arts, I believe the opportunity of independence is too good to miss. Simply put there is no more creative an act than creating a new nation.

Personally I give us . . . one chance of three.

Either what we hold to be right and good and true IS right and good and true, for all mankind, or we're just another robber tribe.

I am not a politician and I have no intention of being one.

The key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.
