There's always a new challenge to keep you motivated.

After I began to make some money, my brain-damaged accountant put me in one business after another that went bad. The only one that panned out was a small bank, an old Scottish firm with London offices in Pall Mall. I was a director. We sold out to a larger bank. That was the only successful venture I've had, apart from acting.

I admit I'm being paid well, but it's no more than I deserve. After all, I've been screwed more times than a hooker.

I've always been hopeful about Scotland's prospects. And I now believe more than ever that Scotland is within touching distance of achieving independence and equality.

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.

How peaceful life would be without love. How safe, how tranquil and how dull.

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