I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I've liked what I've experienced of Glasgow's Film Festival too.
I'd live in Glasgow if I could. I can't praise it enough; it's the nicest place I have ever worked and I've worked in a lot of nice places.

I've always been mentally tough. Believe me, you have to be that way when you've been an Old Firm player living in Glasgow.
I've been lucky. I don't for a minute take for granted the good fortune I have had. You don't like to get ideas above your station, especially a boy from the south side of Glasgow.
