When I was in Lochgelly as a boy, I went to the cinema every night - and on Sundays, I used to go to Cowdenbeath and see something there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to go to two movies every week for the Saturday matinee when I was a kid.
My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.
When I do the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I always go across to Loch Ness and stay there.
Cinema dominated the Fife coalfield towns. We lived in Lochgelly, but my mum was caught up in Hollywood. She was in love with the style and glamour. Sometimes she would come with me to the cinema in the afternoons, and she would say things like, 'I wouldn't mind a peck with Gregory.'
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.
I always loved movies and the cinema; we always used to go to see films as a family.
I discovered the theater when I was in the first grade.
I belonged to another club, and liked the camaraderie.
My children are as at home in the Port Elgin library as I used to be, and they've sat in the cinema seats where I sat with their aunt every Saturday afternoon, watching the matinee movies.
As a boy, I was never interested in theater because I came from a working-class Scottish home. I thought, 'I want to do movies.' Then it was finding the means to do it.
