I feel at home in Scotland and go back whenever I can. I've played the Edinburgh Festival twice, and I get the train across the Forth Bridge to Lochgelly, just to see it.

When I do the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I always go across to Loch Ness and stay there.

I've spent a lot of very happy times in Edinburgh as a result of playing virtually every festival since 1996. It's also a beautiful city in its own right, is walkable, within sight of the sea and mountains - and was too far north for the Luftwaffe to have done any damage, hence the spectacularly beautiful architecture.

Edinburgh is my favourite city. We'll be doing a lot of children's theatre and galleries.

I used to say Edinburgh was a beautiful actress with no talent. I thought it was just like a shortbread tin. I think that's because I did six Festivals in a row there, and I never saw the real Edinburgh, just a lot of deeply annoying Cambridge Footlights kids wanting to be actresses.

I love coming back to Edinburgh. It's nice to spend real time here.

Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around.

I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I've liked what I've experienced of Glasgow's Film Festival too.

I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.'
