People in Scotland appreciate homegrown talent, but it's getting harder and harder to get films made in Britain.
From Robert Carlyle
Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I am a very patriotic guy, in terms of my Scottishness and my roots.
A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
Anyone that knows me knows what I'm about, and I'm very much a British actor, a European actor.
The thing I miss the most about Scotland is the football.
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
A lot of Scots have settled in Canada over the years and it's a very easy place for Scots - they understand us, we understand them.
I often have scripts sent to me with allegedly Scottish characters where I end up telling them, 'You're going to have to rethink this whole thing!'
I like to be working and moving - the worst thing you can do to me is stick me in a room all day while you're lighting a shot. That just kills me.
I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
